In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a dough forms.
