Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, let’s get our oven preheated to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, I like to spray my baking dish with a little cooking spray for easy cleanup later. In my mixing bowl, I combine the softened butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk everything together until it’s smooth and beautifully blended, which usually takes just a couple of minutes. I swear by the smell of vanilla wafting through the kitchen during this step!
