I am out of brown sugar. Can I substitute white sugar?

You can! White sugar in an equal amount will work fine, but your cookies will be a little crisper than if they had been made with brown sugar.

Or, if you have molasses on hand, add 2 tablespoons molasses to every cup of substituted white sugar and you will not be able to tell the difference.
