3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

1 cup pack dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar

2. In medium bowl, with wire whisk, mix flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
3. In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat butter and brown and granulated sugars until blended, scraping bowl often with rubber spatula. Increase speed to medium high; beat until creamy, about 3 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl. Reduce speed to low; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Alternately add flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat just until smooth.
