- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.

- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Roll it tightly from one end to form spirals.
- Slice the rolled dough into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place on lined baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
