Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed

- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
