Please help the pregnant person with the cookie craving! Can you make cookies without granulated sugar?

[SchroSawMargeryDaw]

I am really craving a cookie, I'm 25 weeks pregnant and I need one.

I only have the stuff in my cupboard, I don't have brown sugar.

Please help!

What is wrong with granulated sugar? Are you diabetic?

You might be be able to make cookies without sugar but they won't taste very nice.

No, I just don't have any, I only have the stuff in the cupboard!

I have:

Caster sugar
Icing Sugar
Vanilla Essence
Self raising flour
I might have plain flour
White chocolate
Smarties

And probably a load of other stuff, just no granulated sugar.

You can make shortbread with caster sugar, and other kinds of biscuits too. Google a few recipes.

Caster sugar is perfect...it and granulated can pretty much be interchanged...it's just slightly finer!

You'll be fine with caster sugar. I never buy granulated for baking - just caster.

If you are making American style cookies, the correct white sugar to use is caster.

Marjorie Nooo! Shortbread is just not the same. It has to be cookieish and chocolatey. :o

Could anyone point me towards a good recipe using caster sugar? I've never actually make cookies before, only cakes.

This is my recipe of choice... And you can keep the dough in a cling film sausage and slice off and bake as required!

Kato Those look perfect but you need brown sugar and I don't have any. :(

Some I will try those, any idea if they will be chewy?

Baws! I want to make some but have no chocolate chips... Is that do-able?

Oh man imagine smarties in them??

I made them the other day (same sugar situation as you!) and they were soft and chewyish when hot from the oven but hard when cold (if that makes sense!!) you can keep the dough in fridge as well - I made 3 batches over 3 nights as I love them warm!!

kato - do you have any chocolate bars in? I had no chips the other day so just smashed up a chocolate bar into small chunks! was a great stress reliever and they were yummy

There's zero chocolate in this house! AIBU to want to go buy chocolate and not have any dinner so I can eat a million cookies?

I made DP go to the shops and get me smarties before I looked up the recipe, so no brown sugar.

Kato Send some my way!

Kato I don't think YABU, although never trust a pregnant person with cravings...

No definitely not unreasonable....well I hope not cause that would make me unreasonable too!

Have I started something here? :o

Schro... You're local to me if I remember correctly...

Haha! Am I?

I'm not going to the shops for you but I could possibly keep some cookie dough. :o

yes you have started something im now popping round to my mums to borrow

Brilliant! :o

bloody phone

borrow/steal her brown sugar and eggs....I am now desperate to try that recipe! There goes the diet!

I could be dead wrong but I'm sure we're both close to promixity of tesco st rollox! (I'm Bishopbriggs)

I've got butterkist for my treat tonight, that'll need to do!

Wait a minute...

I made Fudge not long ago, I must have some brown sugar!
