In the cookie recipe below I mentioned using white sugar and molasses in place of the brown sugar. I did so based on a blog entry that Char sent to me not too long ago. Brown sugar ends up pissing me off most of the time, because it gets too hard. I know of the various ways to keep that from happening, but it happens to me eventually, anyhow.
I actually didn’t follow her recipe and make brown sugar, instead I did it the way she says she usually does it- right in the recipe I’m making. I was just careful not to add too much molasses.

You should be able to pop brown sugar into the microwave for a few seconds to soften it right up
