Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
To make Pastry: Cream together 2/3 cup butter and brown sugar. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well blended.
Separate the eggs and beat in the yolks. Add in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and mix well.
Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
