Best Answer

Powdered sugar makes for a lighter texture and flavor when used in making cookies. However, more powdered sugar than granular sugar has to be used to obtain a sweeter taste. Also, powdered sugar is used on top of sugar cookies, sprinkled, to create a design/decoration, and to give the taste buds the initial enjoyment when one first bites into the cookie.

Powdered sugar is the exact same thing as sugar, just more finely ground, into a powder.

It may be used to sweetening or for decorating.

Where did Mexican wedding cookies come from?

probably Mexico because they are called 'Mexican wedding cookies"another responseThe same cookie recipe known as "Mexican Wedding Cookies" is also called "Russian Tea Cakes," "Snowballs," and "Powdered Sugar Balls." Because the recipe is a very simple shortbread made with powdered sugar in place of granulated sugar with pecans or other nuts mixed in, it probably appeared independently in a number of different regions shortly after powdered sugar became widely available. During the past century, recipes and the names of the recipes would have been exchanged and adapted as immigrants from many areas mingled in Europe and North America.
