When the recipe says to cream the sugar and butter, you want to do this for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture turns white and fluffy. If using a stand mixer, be sure to use the paddle attachment, not the whip (unless it says to whip the butter). The whip will create too many air pockets, causing a dry baked good.
