02 - In a large bowl, cream together unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
03 - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
06 - Roll dough into 1-inch diameter balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
07 - Gently press each dough ball flat using the bottom of a glass or your palm to create round shapes.
