Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you want a healthier twist, substitute half of the flour with whole wheat flour. To enhance the cinnamon flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg. Make sure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier mixing. It's also a good idea to check your oven temperature for accuracy.
