In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.

Bake Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. The cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
