The Altitude Adjustment Section
This recipe took three tests to get it right. The original recipe was way too sweet for my taste and had too much leavening for 7000 feet above sea level, so I fixed it! I still think they are a little sweet, but my tasters loved them.

1 cup brown sugar
10 Tablespoons melted unsalted butter
2 eggs
