Step 1Mix flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, blend brown sugar, sugar, and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add eggs and vanilla, then beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture and blend at low speed until just combined. Do not over mix.
