This is for a "supermarket cookie" recipe, the ones that usually come in bags of 5 from their own bakery.


Answers:

It really depends on the type of cookie but it usually refers to light unless it states otherwise. I find that the darker cookies (I.e. gingersnaps) will be much better with the dark, while the lighter cookies, such as chocolate chip, need a milder, lighter sugar.
