Well maybe it's origin is both. Maybe it was a mixed marriage and both hubby and wife created the Russian Mexican Cake Cookie concoction together at the same time in the same place at the same moment.

It's racial harmony. Like the black and white cookie.

Brown sugar contains more moisture and so tends to produce a thicker, chewier cookie. Granulated sugar usually produces a crunchier cookie, but results do vary.

Granulated sugar allows a cookie to spread more, producing a larger, flatter cookie. Brown sugar produces a plumper, puffier cookie.

Hope this finally answers your question. And good luck with it.

If you have tried chilling the dough and that hasn't helped, I don't know.

I always thought the difference between brown sugar and white sugar was minimal for the common grocery store kinds - just a small amount of molasses for color and a hint of flavor.. I just follow whatever the recipe says to use and chilling the dough has always made the difference. Are you experimenting with your own recipe?

The white sugar makes it spread out more and the brown sugar makes it puffier. What my question is though is how can a cookie be Russian and Mexican at the same time? And not only is it Russian and Mexican simontaneously, it's a cake too! So really, you have

Mexican wedding cake
Mexican Cookie
Russian tea cake
Russian wedding cookie
Mexican tea cookie
Russian-Mexican cookie
Russian-Mexican tea cookie
Russian-Mexican wedding cake
Russian-Mexican wedding cookie

It's so confusing! Can someone explain this?! Eemmu, are you still here?
