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.

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.

Can you substitute baking powder for baking soda in a cookie recipe?
You can substitute them - but it's really hard to get it right. Baking powder is soda - but with other things added. Baking soda reacts to acidic things (like buttermilk) because it's a base (slightly bitter.) Little hard to explain, but it's really easy. Baking powder is sort of in the middle. It has an acid and a base, and is very neutral. In a cookie recipe, baking soda is used. In a recipe, all the ingredients react together, so if you change one ingredient, you have to change others too, or the quantity. Swapping powder for soda will not get you the right cookies that are supposed to be made from the recipe. So you CAN substitute them, but it's just easier to go and buy some soda.
