The difference between light and dark brown sugar is simply that dark brown sugar has approximately twice the molasses in it that light brown sugar does. Generally I default to using light brown sugar in most of my recipes (in pretty much everything except for my Gingerbread). Using all light brown sugar will yield cookies with a lighter flavor. Super soft and chewy brown sugar cookies - no mixer required! Sometimes I like cookies with a lot going on.
