Prep
Soften Butter in microwave for 15 seconds or until soft enough to stir. You will need a mixing bowl and at least one baking sheet.
Step One
Combine Flour, Sugar, Baking Soda, and Baking Powder in the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly for 30-60 seconds.
Step Two
Add Butter, Egg, and Vanilla to the Flour mixture. Stir until dry and wet ingredients seem equally combined. The ideal texture will be crumbly but with enough dampness to be squeezed into a ball.
Step Three
Step Four
Place in oven on middle rack and cook for 11 minutes or until the bottom edge of the cookie starts to look solid and lightly brown.
