Author Notes: About a dozen tweaks later, here it is: my favorite sugar cookie recipe! Sorry for the terrible picture--it's the only time I was able to take a picture with my phone before they all disappeared...! - lrose

Makes 10 cookies

1+1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars with a mixer or spatula until fluffy.
Add egg, mix, and gently fold in flour mixture. Do not overbeat!
Drop onto a greased cookie sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes. Cookies should be a little golden around the edges, but still look slightly underdone in the center.
Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove and place on wire rack to cool completely. Eat alone or sandwich ice cream between two cookies for a delicious ice cream sandwich!
