- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
