Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
