– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to mix until light and airy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed.
