Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

- Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
