Light Brown Sugar

When a recipe asks for brown sugar, they are generally calling for Light Brown Sugar. Light Brown Sugar has a lower molasses content than Dark Brown Sugar and is great when you don't want an over powering flavor. Light Brown Sugar is great for baking cookies and cakes, while also working well when smoking or barbecuing. Brown Sugar does have a tendency to dry out and it is important to keep it in an air tight container to keep the moisture contained.
