  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

  6. Cool: Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips.
