I'd say the one's who suggested using molasses, technically, have the right answer! However.....yes, u can use white in place of brown (cup for cup) with or without the molasses. It will only slightly alter the taste & appearance of the cookie using white sugar but they r still good; I've done it many times. They suggested molasses cuz brown sugar is white sugar with molasses---which provides a much richer taste as opposed to white sugar's "sweet only" taste!!! But, I'm guessing that if u have no brown sugar in ur pantry, then ur likely not to have molasses either. So, go ahead & just use the white sugar & u will be just fine!!! OR u can go to the store & get the molasses & while ur there get urself some dark brown sugar & screw the molasses, lol (or just buy it anyway to have on hand)!!! I prefer dark brown sugar because it provide's a richer taste. GOOD LUCK!!!>>>>ZETA!!!

White sugar alone would seriously alter the taste and look of the cookies. You CAN use a combo of white sugar and molasses, however:
Substitute white sugar for brown sugar on a 1 to 1 basis, but add 4 tablespoons of molasses per cup, and decrease the total amount of liquid in the recipe by 3 tablespoons

I wouldn't do it. Brown sugar has a distinct flavor which will add a lot to the cookies....i am assuming the recipe already calls for a lot of white sugar, so don't add more! just leave out the brown sugar if you want to, but don't put in more white...

I don't think they will taste the same. Brown sugar is white sugar coated in molasses. It really makes a difference in the flavor. If you have molasses in your house, you could mix the two together to make brown sugar.
"In spite of their difference in weight, you can substitute brown sugar for granulated white on a 1 to 1 basis, and the most significant difference will be taste."

Yes, however the brown sugar gives a little butterscotch flavor which is the point of using it. However, if you don't have any on hand, it will not seriously alter the cookies.

you can, but it will make your cookies crisper. If you have molasses on hand, add 1 T. to 1 cup white sugar as a brown sugar subsitute.

I do not see why not, though it might darken the colour of the cookie.
