Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In a larger bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

- Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until a soft dough forms.
