Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate. If you're out of milk, you can substitute with buttermilk or a non-dairy alternative like almond milk. Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming with sugar. For a gluten-free option, replace the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
