Sugar Tips

• Combine white and brown sugar to give cookies a chewier texture. Using granulated sugar alone will make them crispier.
• To measure granulated or powdered sugar, spoon into a measuring cup, then level off with a flat kitchen utensil.
• Brown sugar must be packed when measured. Pour or spoon into a measuring cup and press down firmly, adding more sugar as needed.
• Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. (Seal brown sugar in a plastic bag). If stored properly, sugar can keep for several years.
• If brown sugar has clumped, revive it by adding an apple wedge or slice of bread . Seal and let stand about 1 or 2 days. A quick solution? Microwave sugar on high for 30 seconds.
