3 (1 ounce) squares unsalted butter or margarine, divided
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cream butter and sugar together. Beat in the eggs, mixing until well blended. Spread mixture into a 1/4 inch thick checkerboard on a cookie sheet. Place half of the biscuits on the baked sheet.
Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until brown. Serve warm or cold.
