Steps:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the eggs 1 at a time. Add the vanilla and beat for 1 more minute.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before baking.

GINA'S WHITE CHOCOLATE-APRICOT MUFFINS
Steps:
- In large bowl combine flour and next five ingredients (through chocolate). In separate bowl combine milk, butter, and egg. Add to flour mixture and stir just till moist. Spoon about 1 Tablespoon batter into each of 12 greased muffin cups. Spoon 2 teaspoons preserves into center of each muffin cup (do not spread out over batter) and top with remaining batter. Sprinkle evenly with 1 Tablespoon sugar and bake at 400 degrees approximately 20 minutes.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a high-quality white chocolate. A good rule of thumb is to use a white chocolate that has a cocoa butter content of at least 30%.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. This will help prevent the muffins from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
