Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

4
Cream together the butter and light-brown sugar, using a hand mixer, in a separate, large bowl, until light and fluffy.

Beat in the vanilla.
6
Gradually pour in the dry mixture, and beat until the dough looks like coarse, pea-sized lumps.
7
Use your hands to form the dough into a ball, then transfer it to your prepared baking pan and press down evenly to fill the pan.
