I confess.

I bought a bag of that granulated brown sugar (Domino’s calls it Brownulated, or something like that). Anyway, I used that instead of packed light brown sugar in a few recipes with varying degrees of success. But yesterday, as I blended, stirred, dropped and baked double chocolate chip cookies, I realized that the fake brown sugar wasn’t doing the recipe justice.

You can see the little brown granules in the baked cookies!

Okay, so no more short cuts for me. I swear.
