Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) while I gather my ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, I cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy—this is my favorite part because it smells divine! Next, I mix in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Once that’s done, I add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, ensuring each dry ingredient is incorporated smoothly. The mix will take on a lovely golden hue that signals the deliciousness yet to come. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
