1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the lemon bars from the pan. Place 8-10 long wooden skewers randomly over the top and dust over confectioners sugar. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
