High Altitude baking (cookies, cooking, flour, Las Vegas)

[nanski]

I live in Las Vegas/Henderson, NV area and am wondering if I should use the high altitude baking recipes to cook cookies and cakes? The elevation where I live is about 2000ft. Just a little unclear about this cooking rule, could someone elaborate a little for me?

It depends on the recipe. I think 3500ft is when most things start to get funky. I'm at 6800, so I have to adjust sometimes. Mainly I add more flour when baking.
