Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

If using walnuts, fold them into the batter with a rubber spatula.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars and serving.

For an even crisper crust, make sure to not overmix the batter and use room temperature ingredients.

If you’re using walnuts, chop them finely to ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the bars.

Parchment paper or aluminum foil is a must for easy removal and cleanup.

Let the bars cool completely in the pan to prevent breaking or crumbling.

Cut into bars just before serving for the freshest taste.

These bars are perfect for a snack or dessert, and they’re also a great option for packing in lunchboxes or serving at a potluck!
