Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get this party started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I like to start by whisking together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl—this helps keep everything nice and light. In another bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is fluffy and light. I love how this part fills my kitchen with a sweet aroma! Now, gradually beat in the eggs and add the vanilla. Make sure it’s well combined and rich in color. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
