Butter Cookies
These classic cookies are simple yet addicting. Store them in a ziplock bag or airtight container to retain their chewy texture and rich buttery flavor. We doubt they’ll last long enough for storage though!

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda must be fresh!

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

In a stand mixer or using an electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugars until light, fluffy and smooth
