Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly, then set the bowl aside.

Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large bowl) cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
3
Reduce mixer speed and blend in vanilla and egg.

Remove bowl from mixer. Using a spatula, blend in the dry ingredients you prepared in step 1. Mix until dough is firm, then chill for 1 hour.
