Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.

  3. Add the large egg and vanilla extract, beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture.

  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
