Beat the butter and sugars together for about 2 minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed, until completely mixed and light in color.
Add the egg and the vanilla extract, and beat for 1 minute until well mixed. Be sure to scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl halfway through.
With the mixer at medium speed, add the sifted flour mixture to the bowl slowly. Stop once all of the flour is incorporated.
