Strawberry Squares
Sweet baked treats baked with strawberry pie filling – yum!
Did I mention these are easy enough for a 17 year old to bake? Yes, my daughter did the baking, she loves to bake! And lucky for me she took most of these to school with her so I wouldn’t eat more than one.

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup canned strawberry pie filling
confectioner’s sugar for dusting
baking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray Baking Pam in a 13 x 9- inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter with the granulated sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla. Add the flour and mix thoroughly.
Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pan. With a small, sharp knife (or toothpick), score into twenty-four 2-inch squares. Place a teaspoon of pie filling in the center of each scored square. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the pan comes out clean. Cool to room temperature, then sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar before cutting and serving.
