How to Make Nancy's Breakfast Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the squares cool completely in the pan before frosting.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe provided below or use store bought).
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
