Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, I mix the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until it’s light and fluffy—this usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Next, I add in the egg and vanilla extract, continuing to blend until everything is well incorporated. The sweet aroma that wafts off this mixture is just delightful!
