Glad to hear it worked out for you!
Angela, the main differences between the two are that the modified version gives you more of a chewy softer cookie, vs. the regular NFSC which are crunchier and flakier in texture. They're both sturdy and hold up well for decorating and in cookie bouquets....but the modified are also sweeter than the reg. NFSC. Just a preference in taste and texture...they're both good!
Redsoxbaker, you can use lemon pudding mix, or even lemon jello mix if you want a really strong lemony flavor (you will get a bright yellow color on your dough though) to the modified version
