- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Prepare the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. - Cream Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. - Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mix. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix! - Fold in Mix-ins:
Gently fold in your chosen mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, etc.) to evenly distribute them throughout the batter. - Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the dessert to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. - Tips for Personalization:
- Swap the vanilla extract with almond extract for a unique flavor twist.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced note.
- Drizzle with a simple glaze or frosting for an extra indulgent touch.
