Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
