- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour

Add sugars and beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined.
- 4
Add flour (fluffed and leveled!), baking soda and salt and beat on low speed just until cookie dough comes together.
- 5
Preheat oven to 350°F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roll into 1" balls and place 2" apart on baking sheets. Press down slightly with fork.
