ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3. In a small bowl, stir together the dry ingredients.
4. Add dry ingredients to dough and mix on low until combined.
5. Scrape dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, seal and refrigerate several hours or until firm.

If parchment sticks to dough, simply bake with both pieces on. The parchment will come off easily once baked.
