3. ALL BROWN SUGAR

In this test, we used all brown sugar (so 1 ½ cups). And if you can believe it, the cookies tasted like… brown sugar! They’re very caramelly and softer and thicker than the white sugar test. We found the brown sugar flavor to be a little overpowering, but some of our testers loved this flavor the most. It’s definitely worth playing with the ratio of sugars to get your dream cookie! Use more brown sugar for more caramel flavor and a softer consistency, white sugar for a flatter cookie with a crispier bite.
