Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter can be used instead. For a different flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or replacing lemon extract with orange extract. To enhance sweetness, try adding chocolate chips or dried fruit like cranberries or raisins.
