3 dozen small cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1 cup powdered sugar

* 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 large egg, beaten
* 4 1/3 cups cake flour
* 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

4.

Increase speed to medium and mix for 3 minutes.
5.

Slowly add vanilla and beaten egg while mixing.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, mixing on slow speed until just blended. Do not overmix.
