Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I like to line my baking pan with parchment paper for easy lifting later. In a mixing bowl, melt the butter and then whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Once combined, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract. It’s essential to whisk until it’s smooth and silky; the aroma of the sugars blending with butter fills my kitchen with a wonderful sweetness. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
