- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Lightly butter a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer for 1 minute or until creamy. Add the brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy (not grainy), about 3 minutes.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour and the salt. Then add to the butter mixture while mixing on a low speed until just combined (don't overbeat).
- Spread the dough smoothly over the bottom of the springform pan. You may want to use the bottom of a glass to press the dough down evenly. Using the tines of a fork, pierce the dough at 1/2-inch intervals going all the way through to the bottom of the pan. Do this to the entire pan of dough.
- Bake 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and the edges pull slightly away from the sides.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, remove the springform siding and cut the dough into 16 pie-shaped slices. Allow to cool in the pan on top of a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days.
