- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually mix in the sugar mixture until light and fluffy.
