Can agave nectar be substituted for sugar in baking?

Answer

I have used it in cookie recipes and followed the substition rate on the bottle of the agave nectar. No one noticed a difference in my cookies and I actually liked the texture better. (they seemed moister, like they could melt in my mouth.) I have used it in many different kinds of cookies. On occasion I have had to add more dry ingredients, so pay attention to the consistency of the batter of whatever you are baking.
