Cookie Crust
- 1 Cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 2 Cups Flour
- ½ Cup Powdered sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
Filling
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Cup Packed light brown sugar

Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease 9x13 glass baking dish (I simply spray bottom and sides with Pam). | |
| Crust | |
| Step 2 | |
| In mixer with paddle attachment, combine flour and butter, add powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread this dough on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Set aside to cool before topping with filling. | |
