4 tsp multi-colored sugar strands

Method

• Preheat oven to 160 degree celsius.
• Line an 8 inch square pan with plastic wrap leaving 1 inch of the plastic wrap hanging out from the sides of the pan(so as to easily pick it off from the pan)
• Combine butter, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping the the sides, until creamy.
• Reduce speed to low, add flour and salt. Beat until well mixed.
• Stir in the multi-colored sugar strands.
