Method:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease your 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the prepared pan.

  8. Let cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
