  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened or browned unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add an egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, folding together until just combined.
