Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan with butter. I love to line the pan with parchment paper; it makes for easier removal later. In a mixing bowl, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. Then, whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The aroma of the butter and sugar mingling together is simply irresistible! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
