  • Turbinado sugar

    Well, in an example of putting the cart before the horse, I went and bought a package of turbinado sugar from Trader Joe's with the intent of trying it in some cookies, but without knowing how to use it.

    Now, I have found recipes for turbinado sugar cookies that sound good, but I would also like to try it in some of my existing recipes that called for regular white and/or brown sugar.

    The thing is, I can't seem to find a definitive answer on whether turbinado should be used as a substitute for white sugar or brown sugar, or if it can be either. Google seems to suggest white.

    Anyone have any experience baking with turbinado sugar?

    No, but I don't know why you couldn't use it as regular white sugar. Isn't it just unbleached?

      After a bit of reading, my own opinion would be that turbinado sugar is possibly too dry to do a straight sub for brown sugar, unless you also included a little bit of molasses in the recipe you're making. Should work just fine as a straight substitution for white sugar.

        You can use it like white sugar but you will get a slightly sweeter end result with a little hint of molasses (kind of like if you subbed brown sugar for some of the white).
