Ingredients

  • ¾ cup salted butter , softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line sheet pans with parchment paper.
