Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can omit the nuts or substitute with chocolate chips. Ensure that your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing. For an extra touch, add a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.
