80g light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
220g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder

Method
STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 180˚C fan/ 200˚C conventional.

In a large bowl, combine the room temperature butter, caster sugar and light brown sugar. Use an electric mixer or wooden spoon to beat the butter and sugar together, for 2-4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Next, stir in the vanilla extract.
STEP 3
Into a separate bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to combine.
