Yes, but you should only use 1/3 of the amount of baking powder specified, when switching to baking soda. i.e do not substitute on a 1:1 basis. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. So although baking soda is not exactly the same as baking powder, it is also far stronger. Your cookies will turn out slightly differently, but using baking soda is better than leaving out both leavening agents, since this will result in really hard cookies. Alternatively, use self-raising flour and miss out baking powder and soda.

No. Baking powder works because it has both and ACID and an ALKALINE. Baking (bicarbonate of) soda is just an ALKALINE. To use as a baking agent you would need an ACID (CREAM OF TARTAR).

BAKING POWDER = SODIUM BICARBONATE + CREAM OF TARTAR

No, I do not think it is very healthy or wise to cook with it. I think you Bargain for TUMMY ache instead. I just do not believe it is used in baking. I believe that the food you may try to eat later will be very bitter and I would just run down to the store and get baking powder

Is baking powder used in baking soda?

Baking powder is not the same as baking soda. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar, which are both raising agents designed for different purposes - one of them is activated by water, the other by heat. Baking soda is "strong" compared to baking powder, and is not a direct substitute for baking powder.
