How to Make Heather's Cream Cheese Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup powdered sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
  3. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, softened, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Let the squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
