- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.

- Incorporate green food coloring until you achieve your desired shade of green.
