Best Answer

Only substitute baking soda for baking powder if the cookie dough will be baked within 30 minutes of mixing. Baking soda begins to lose potency as soon as it gets wet so baking powder is used when the dough will be allowed to sit for a long time before baking.

Does using baking powder or baking soda make cookies thicker?

If by "thicker" you mean raised higher, then yes, perhaps. Baking powder and baking soda are both "leavenings," which cause cookies and other baked goods to rise. But there are many possible reasons that cookies bake up too flat and chewy: Too much liquid Too much fat (butter) No acidic ingredient to react with baking soda. Too much baking soda or baking powder. Not enough egg. Not baked long enough Baked at the wrong temperature. All these possibilities depend on the specific recipe. Some cookies contain nothing more than flour, butter and sugar. Other cookies have long lists of ingredients. And some cookie recipes are MEANT to produce flat, chewy cookies.
