I'm wanting to make some cookies and I don't have any sugar. I have plenty of raw honey though. Can anyone tell me if I use the same amount of honey as sugar? Since that is a liquid, how do I need to adjust my recipe?

I usually use a little less honey than sugar because honey is sweeter. The dough might be a little gooier, though, so it's possible you'd need to add a little more flour.

(I know this well after the fact, but in case anyone else is interested or if you need it in the future ;) )


The substitution I found years ago - is 3/4 cup honey and subtract about 2 tbsp of liquid from your main recipe for every cup of dry sugar you would normally use. For recipes that don't have liquids I can decrease, I just toss in another bit of flour, or frankly, don't even worry about it!

Works perfect every time :)

The cookies turned out really good. The recipe called for 1 cup sugar and 2 cups flour. I used 3/4 cup honey and around an extra 1/4 cup flour. I think next time I could get away with less honey. It changed the texture of the cookies which was an excellent change.
