  3. Beat the cold, cubed unsalted butter together with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy.
  4. Add in the egg and pure vanilla extract, then blend until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the creamy wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
