Hi everyone,
I did a little research to confirm this.  Raw sugar is what is left behind 
when the sugar is processed to remove the "white" sugar.  Therefore, it is 
considered more "natural".  Some believe there are more nutrients in "raw" 
sugar, but I have not found out what they are.

As for carbohydrate content, both white sugar and raw sugar havt 4 grams of 
carbohydrate per teaspoon.  So, whether you use white sugar or raw sugar in 
this cookie recipe, the end result will be the same in regards to how it 
will effect your blood sugar.

However, as far as taste goes, I think that raw sugar has a distinctive 
toasty or carmalized taste.  I like it in coffee.

Lynn
