Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour, and ½ cup sugar with a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden.

Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the oven. (Do not cover)

Allow bars to cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours then dust with confectioners sugar.
