Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gently mix in the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until just combined. Don’t overmix!
