- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined.
