- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.

Notes
Make sure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture. Avoid over-mixing to keep cookies tender. Watch the baking time to prevent over-baking.
