Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, I like to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light. This process usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes, and the smell is absolutely divine! Next, I add in the eggs, one at a time, making sure they are fully incorporated before moving on. Finally, I stir in the vanilla extract. Remember, the better the vanilla, the better the flavor! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
