  • Cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl or mixer for 3-4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  • One at a time, beat in eggs, waiting until each is incorporated before adding the next, then add vanilla extract.
  • Starting and ending with the dry ingredients, alternate between mixing in the flour mixture and milk. Be careful not to overmix.
