  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

  6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
