• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
• Press one-third of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are a pale golden brown. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool about 15 minutes.

SALTED CARAMEL GOOEY BUTTER BARS

Steps:

• Place water and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan on medium-high heat and vigorously stir until sugar is dissolved and begins to boil.
• Once boiling, stop stirring and let boil until the sugar's temperature reads 370 F on a candy thermometer.
• Immediately remove from heat and carefully add butter. Swirl the pan until the butter is completely melted.
• Add the heavy whipping cream and immediately stir vigorously to combine.
• Stir in salt.
• Cool to room temperature.
• Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and use your hands to mix until the ingredients come together to form fine crumbs.
• Press into the bottom of a greased 8"x8" pan.
• Top with 3/4 cup of the salted caramel from above. If needed, tilt the pan slightly so the caramel will flow to evenly cover the whole crust.
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• In a mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter until fully combined.
• Mix in the corn syrup and egg.
• Alternately add the flour and the evaporated milk in three additions, mixing until just combined (the batter will appear slightly curdled).
• Evenly distribute topping over caramel.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until the edges of the bars are just turning brown. When you shake the pan, the center should still be somewhat loose but not liquid. Be careful not to over-bake, as you will then lose the gooey aspect of the gooey butter bars.
• Cool to room temperature and optionally drizzle remaining salted caramel sauce on top.
• Cut into squares and serve.

• Return to the oven, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until it is bubbly all over. Cool and drizzle with icing. Allow icing to set before cutting into squares.
• To make the icing, stir together the confectioners' sugar with the water and vanilla until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add more water. If it is too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.
