  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
