brown sugar is a mixture of sugar and molasses
dark brown sugar simply has more molasses than light brown
to make it light brown, just add more white sugar to it

To Me It Does Noy Really Matter, Because Light Brown Sugar Is Just Like Dark Brown Sugar, Just Darker Thats all.

White suger is taken out of molasis, the brown or dark brown is in the more raw form, the darker the more raw.

You can use it, they will be darker in colour and a little more chewy.
The difference is the amount of liquid left in the sugar during processing.

They act the same in the recipe. Your cookies may turn out just a bit darker than they should be but they will taste the same.
