In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet dough, mixing until just combined.

Wrap the prepared dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.
