Tips:
- Prep your ingredients beforehand: Make sure all your ingredients are measured and prepped before you start baking. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling for ingredients while you're in the middle of the recipe.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough, dense squares. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in a more evenly baked square.
- Bake the squares until they are just set: Overbaking can dry out the squares. Bake them until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the squares cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the squares.
