Take out a mixing bowl and carefully add your all-purpose flour. Now take a pinch of salt and baking soda to mix.

Step 3: Cream Your Butter and Sugar Well

Take a second bowl, and add your unsalted butter and white and brown sugar.

Take out your mixer and start creaming until you’re left with a well-creamed mixture of butter and sugar.

Step 4: Add Your Egg To The Butter Mixture

Crack a large egg into the smooth butter-sugar mixture. Start mixing it well and add two tablespoons of vanilla.

One tablespoon should be enough for those who, hate the strong vanilla smell.

Put your mixture at low speed and start mixing, until the two batters are perfectly combined. You could use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for this recipe.
