About Granulated Sugar
Check the sugar type before converting. Superfine sugar, coarse decorating sugar and powdered sugar have different crystal or particle sizes and should not inherit this measurement automatically.
Sugar also affects cookie spread and cake structure. Reducing it changes more than sweetness, so a conversion tells you quantity rather than how much a recipe can tolerate losing.
Tips for measuring Granulated Sugar

- Measure before dissolving the sugar in a liquid.
Common mistakes
