Flavor Tips & Variations

• For stronger citrus, add 1–2 tsp orange extract or extra zest.

• Replace 1/2 cup flour with almond flour for richer texture.

• Drizzle optional glaze:
  Orange Glaze = 1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1–2 tbsp orange juice + pinch zest.

• Use dark chocolate chips for a less sweet, deeper flavor.
