What kind of cookie can I make without brown sugar?

Humm...So you have any maple syrup? You might need to adjust and add a tablespoon more of flour to make up for the liquid element.

The molasses in the brown sugar makes the cookies softer and kind of rounds out the flavor. You could try all white sugar, but the cookies will be kind of bland and crisp. Do you have molasses? Or maple syrup? I thought those were both good ideas. They will change the flavor and texture. If you have to use only white sugar, consider adding more aromatics or spices. Please let us know what you do and how it turns out.

Unfortunately, I have neither molasses nor maple syrup. I do have honey though?

Thirschfeld's sugar cookies have regular sugar and a tablespoon of honey, so that should work. Here's his recipe: <a href="http://www.food52.com/recipes/3872_my_girls_best_test_kitchen_sugar_cookies" target="_blank">http://www.food52.com/recipes/3872_my_girls_best_test_kitchen_sugar_cookies</a> Good luck!

There are many wonderful cookies that don't require brown sugar - just on this site, Cream Cheese Cookies ( http://www.food52.com/recipes... ) and Coconut Jumbles ( http://www.food52.com/recipes... ) come to mind. Unfortunately, for oatmeal or chocolate chip cookies, brown sugar is pretty essential to the flavor.

Most shortbread, thumbprint, and rolled cookies (which can be refrigerator cookies) don't require brown sugar.
