In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
