Question for Mom

I am almost out of granulated sugar but want to bake cookies or a cake.  Can I substitute brown sugar or powdered sugar? –Jody K.

Yes, you can substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar. 
However, the end result will taste slightly different because brown sugar contains molasses.  I have made Chocolate Chip Cookies using only brown sugar, and they were a bit moister than usual.  That was fine with me.

As for substituting powdered sugar for granulated sugar, here is what Betty Crocker says: "1 3/4 cup powdered sugar can be substituted for 1 cup granulated sugar, but the success of the recipe really depends on how you are using the sugar. If it is in a baked good, you should be ok."
