1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13-x-9-inch baking pan, and set aside.
2. Place all of the jar ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and stir until well combined. Set aside.
3. Place the butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl, and cream with an electric mixer set on low speed or with a fork.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, and mix with a spoon until well combined. The batter will be dry and crumbly.
5. Evenly press the batter in the prepared pan using the bottom of a wooden spoon and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are light brown in color.
6. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
