Notes
- Substitute butter with coconut oil or margarine for a dairy-free option.
- Make buttermilk by mixing 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice and let sit 5 minutes.
- Use brown sugar instead of white sugar for a richer flavor.
- Try white chocolate, dark chocolate, or dried fruits in place of chocolate chips.
- Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavor.
