Okay. Making those changes to the recipe isn't exactly a disaster -- but it's not what I wanted to have happen, either. The flavor of brown sugar doesn't come through the way I want it to. Using brown sugar instead of white makes a stickier, softer dough. The omission of lemon zest makes the cookies somewhat insipid. *sigh* Edible, but not spectacular. Ah, well, now I know this. Hooray for science!

Meme swiped from almiqui:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

The Holy Bible, King James version, acquired free of charge from a pair of mormon elders:
P. 123, Deuteronomy 9:5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Full disclosure: Atheist. Book was on top of stack to be handy in case I needed to look up biblical references for Moby Dick. Yes, really.
