No, because they wouldn't contain the same amount of sugar per cookie
for the first recipe - 24 cookies with 6 tablespoons
thats 6/24 so 0.25 tablespoons of sugar per cookie
for the second recipe - 36 cookies with 10 tablespoons
thats 10/36 so 0.276 tablespoons per cookie
the cookies in the second recipe would be slightly sweeter than the cookies in the first
