How to Make Mom's Pan Cookie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in any desired mix-ins (chocolate chips, sprinkles, etc.).
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before serving. Decorate with icing and candles for a special touch!
