  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time.
