Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease two baking sheets, or line with parchment.
2

Beat together the butter, sugars, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and baking soda till well combined.
3

Add the egg, beating till smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl, and beat again till smooth.Add the flour, mixing it in completely.
4

Drop the cookies by the traditional "tablespoonful" (actually about 4 measuring teaspoons) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2" apart. A tablespoon cookie scoop works well here.
5

Bake the cookies for 10 to 14 minutes (or up to 16 minutes; ovens may vary). The cookies should be a light golden brown, and a bit darker around the edges. For softer cookies, bake the shorter amount of time; for crunchy cookies, bake longer.
6

Remove the cookies from the oven, and cool right on the baking sheets.
