Butter Mixture: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Baking Soda & Dry Ingredients: Dissolve the baking soda in hot water and add it to the batter along with the salt. Gradually mix in the flour until just combined.
