Add the sugars, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until the butter and sugar mixture for 1½ to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.

Step 4

On low speed, add the egg. Mix until no yellow streaks from the eggs are visible. Keep scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Continue the mixer on low speed, and slowly add the flour mixture half a cup at a time just until the flour mixture is well incorporated.
