Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, I cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with my hand mixer. The sweetness of the sugars combined with the buttery goodness fills the kitchen with an incredible scent! I then add the eggs, one at a time, along with the vanilla extract and continue mixing until fully incorporated. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
