In baking, brown sugar essentially does the same thing as regular table sugar does. In fact, brown sugar is white sugar, only with molasses added. The molasses adds a certain color, a little more sweetness and moisture, and a little different taste, but by and large, the brown sugar does the same job as regular sugar in baking.

Sugar provides mass, texture and sweet flavor to cookies. Some cookies can be made successfully with molasses, corn syrup, maple syrup or honey instead of the familiar granulated or brown sugar called for in most recipes. Some brands of artificial sweetener also claim to be substitutes for sugar in certain recipes.

If you do not include sugar in a recipe for cookies, they turn out bland and taste more like biscuits. Although, put some butter on those biscuits and you have a great breakfast.
