In a stand mixer, blend the butter until creamy

Add the light brown sugar and granulated sugar

Mix until combined and then add the 2 large eggs

Add in the 2 tsp butter vanilla emulsion and 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mixture should be well blended

Add 1 cup of flour and mix thoroughly

Add the 2nd cup of flour and mix

After it’s mixed together, add the 3rd cup of flour and blend

Now add 1/2 cup of flour and blend to see if this is enough flour

If the mixture doesn’t pull from the sides of the bowl and form a ball, add another 1/2 cup of flour

Mix until the mixture forms a ball

Roll out the dough and cut with your favorite cookie cutter

Place the cookies on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet

Bake at 350 degrees for about 13.5 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies.  If the cookies are large, like my little chickens above you'll need to leave them in around 14.5 minutes.  Small or mini cookies will be closer to 11-12 minutes.  A good rule of thumb is, when the cookies aren't shiny anymore, they're done.
