- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Mix in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to the wet ingredients.
