Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla in a stand mixer. Add in flour and salt, mixing just until combined. Lightly flour fingers so they don't stick to the dough.

3. Bake crust for 15 minutes until just lightly browned; set aside to cool, leaving the oven on.
