  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place racks in top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 positions. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

  3. For cookies, beat butter and sugar with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Add egg and vanilla; beat until fully combined and smooth, about 30 seconds.
