When I’m feeling extra happy, I just have to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies. The smell alone brightens up the whole house!

Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda, then gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined.
