Prep Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 Tbsp. butter in the microwave in 30-sec intervals until fully melted. Set aside.
Make Crust
In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1 cup flour, and a pinch of salt. Add melted butter and stir with a fork until mixture resembles sand or crumbs.
Bake Crust
Place shortbread crumbs into a 9x9 baking dish on the bottom and on the sides of the dish. Use a fork to poke the crust all over the bottom and the sides. Bake for 20-25 min., or until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool, 20-30 min., before serving.
