    Last time I made cookies, I added the granulated sugar, to the eggs & butter, and then added the molasses & mixed… and it worked just fine. A small shortcut.

    Krista, never worry that someone else has already made a particular subject/video because while yes there are many many videos on just about every topic there is, your particular viewers or subscribers may not have seen those other videos. Your subscribers are there to watch and learn from You, something they may not already know and they watch YOU to support you. I too have made a video on homemade brown sugar as well as powdered sugar (last year, I think) but our methods are different, neither being wrong. I personally only like light brown made ahead, which keeps well sealed up for a long time on the shelf. I only make dark brown on a per need basis. I eyeball drops, a little at a time until it's the color I want and I use a fork to blend it in, easy enough. I haven't bought brown sugar or powdered sugar in years. Great demo.😊

Fancy is extracted earlier in the boiling process and is sweeter and black strap is extracted in the final stage and is thicker, darker and more concentrated. The taste is stronger and more bitter.
