8 ounces butter (2 stickls), softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients; knead with hands to combine. Press into ungreased pans (or roll out to about 1/2-inch on a floured board and cut into shapes). Bake at 325° for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cut into wedges while warm or break apart.
