Ingredients
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar

In a bowl stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Combine thoroughly; set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In mixer bowl combine butter and sugars; beat until fluffy and well blended.
