Scale

- 1 large egg
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Notes
For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter and flax eggs or applesauce in place of eggs. For gluten-free cookies, use a gluten-free flour blend.
