1 ½ cups All-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder, 1/2 tsp Baking soda, 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, 1 cup Granulated sugar, 2 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
