1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until it resembles a crumbly dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a separate bowl. Mix well until smooth and combined.
Add the baking powder and continue to stir until fully incorporated. If you’re using nuts, fold them in at this point.
Once the crust is done baking, remove it from the oven and pour the egg mixture over the hot crust. Spread it evenly.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the top is set and golden brown.
Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy your delicious Chess Squares!
