Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I like to combine the softened butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl and cream them with my electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Then, I add the egg and vanilla extract, beating again until everything is well combined. The mixture should smell heavenly at this point! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
