Step 1

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.

Step 2

Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy.

Step 5

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges (don't over-bake though, if the tops of the cookies are brown, you've probably baked them too long!).

Cool on baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
