・mix butter and sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy (~2 mins)

・add egg and vanilla, and mix on high speed again until combined (~1 min)

・add dry ingredients and mix on low until combined- if dough is too sticky, add 1 tbs flour

・divide dough into 2 equal parts and place each on a lightly floured parchment/plastic wrap

・roll dough out to about 1/4in thickness, then seal in parchment/plastic wrap
