Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin pan with papers.
- In a large bowl beat the butter, white sugar & brown sugar until fluffy.
- Mix in the eggs 1 at a time, then the vanilla.

Notes
*Muffins are best if eaten the same day they're made.
STORE. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container on the counter for about 4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
FREEZE. Let them cool completely and place them in a freezer Ziploc. Use a straw to suck out as much air as possible before sealing and freezing for up to 3 months.
