Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I like to preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). While that warms up, I grab a big mixing bowl and cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it becomes fluffy and light, which takes about 2-3 minutes with my handy electric mixer. Then, I add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing just until incorporated. The sweet scent of butter and sugar wafting through my kitchen is simply heavenly!
