1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and a pinch of salt; gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them two inches apart.
