Of course! There are many recipes that don't contain raising agents, it just depends what type of cookies you are making. Shortbread has no raising agents, and neiter do sugar cookies and the kind that you cut shapes out of and ice with frosting. You probably could but they would be really flat because baking powder and baking soda makes them rise.

∙ 14y agoI don't think so... They would come out more like rocks than anything. You can if you have just SOME baking powder and/or baking soda, but not with nothing. I usually don't have vanilla extract either, so you can use vanilla syrup instead..

What is the problem when cookies don't rise?
A couple of reasons are the your baking powder is old and no longer works or the cookies were too warm when they went into the oven and they spread too quickly before they could rise. Try buying some fresh baking powder and chill your dough in the fridge for an hour before putting the cookies on the pan to bake.
When baking cookies it has been discovered that they do not rise. How does one make the cookies rise?
To make my cookies rise, I use shortening instead of butter. Answer The cookies rise depending on the baking powder, salt, baking soda or creme of tartar ingredient that is included in the recipe. Of all of these, the dates on the baking powder and creme of tartar make a difference in their effectiveness. Make sure that you include the full measure of the amount requested by the recipe and that you bake the dough soon after mixing it. Check that your oven is at the desired temperature.

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.
Why do sugar cookies bake faster than chocolate chip cookies?
== == Not sure, but perhaps it is because sugar cookies have fewer ingredients, and the baking powder acts faster. More important than "Why?" is that you recognize the difference in baking times. Otherwise, you would end up with very hard sugar cookies.....or very soft hockey pucks.
What does the unsweetened cocoa powder do in the no bake cookies?
