Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups flour

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

- Drop tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
