  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • Roll out the second disk of dough and place it on top of the filling, sealing the edges.
