Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →
Brown sugar is measured packed, so a cup's weight depends on how firmly you press it. This page uses 220 g for a firmly packed metric cup, the figure most recipes assume. Lightly packed it drops to about 200 g, and a loose scoop falls lower than that. Put it on a scale if one is available and you need to be exact.

Related to Brown Sugar

Sugar

Quick swap when you have no molasses. Loses the caramel notes and moisture, so expect a crisper, plainer cookie or cake. Add 1 tbsp extra liquid per cup of sugar to compensate. See our Sugar converter.

Raw Sugar

Raw sugar has a trace of molasses but is dry with hard crystals (200 g vs 220 g per cup). Result is drier and crunchier; works best in toppings and crumbles. See our Raw Sugar converter.

Palm Sugar

Palm sugar brings the same caramel depth plus an earthy note from the palm sap that brown sugar lacks. Match the weight and not the cup: palm sugar fills one at 200 g against 220 g packed. Sold as a block it has to be grated first, and even grated it stays coarser than brown sugar. See our Palm Sugar converter.

Molasses

Molasses is the syrup that gives brown sugar its colour and caramel flavour. You can add a small amount of molasses to white sugar as a substitute for brown sugar, though the result will be wetter and more intensely flavoured. See our Molasses converter.

Caster Sugar

Caster sugar is milled fine enough to dissolve almost on contact, where brown sugar arrives damp and in clumps you have to press flat. A cup of caster gives 225 g levelled against brown sugar's 220 g packed, so the two land close by weight and nowhere near it by handling. See what 100 grams of caster sugar is in cups.

Icing Sugar

Icing sugar is ground to a powder and cut with a little corn flour so it dissolves cold into frostings. It fills a cup at 125 g where a packed cup of brown sugar reaches 220 g, a little over half the weight, so the two never swap cup for cup. See what 100 grams of icing sugar is in cups.

Chocolate Chips

Chocolate chips and brown sugar are the pair a cookie recipe lists together, usually a cup of each. Chips fill that cup at 180 g against 220 g of packed brown sugar, so a recipe written in grams is not asking for the same scoop twice. See what 100 grams of chocolate chips is in cups.

Plain Flour

Plain flour is the other half of a cookie dough and the one measured the opposite way: spooned in and levelled, not pressed. That is why its cup holds 140 g where brown sugar's holds 220 g, despite the two looking identical in the cup. See what 100 grams of plain flour is in cups.

Butter

Butter and brown sugar go into the bowl together at the start of a cookie dough, and the sugar's crystals are what cut air into the butter. Butter runs to 227 g a cup and brown sugar to 220 g packed, so the usual cup-for-cup pairing holds by weight too. See what 100 grams of butter is in cups.
