Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Notes
For a gooey texture, under-bake slightly. Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
