For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. You can substitute coconut oil for margarine for a dairy-free option. If you have gluten-free flour on hand, feel free to replace all-purpose flour. To enhance the texture, you might add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the mix, ensuring a delightful variation with each batch.
