Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add vanilla extract.
