- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Stir in the vanilla extract.
