I have decided to make some cranberry and chocolate cookies but reading the recipe it asks for muscavado sugar. I don't have any of that but I do have light brown sugar and demarara. would either of these be ok to use?

You advice is greatly appreciated x

    The light brown sugar should be ok

    Thats what I would use. Should be fine. Not the demerera sugar.

    The light brown will be most similar and will give a chewy cookie :) Demerara will work too, and give a nice crunchiness :D

    I would say either! but not seeing the rest of the recipe - if you are creaming the sugar with butter I would use the light brown as it will cream better than Demerara.

    i would use either or even white sugar. Sugar is sugar after all.
