Do eggs make cookies rise

Answer 1

yes. the proteins do.----------------------------------------------

Beaten whole egg is a slight rising agent (for instance this is what makes Yorkshire puddings rise), but on its own it will not make a cake rise, you have to add another rising agent such as baking powder, bicarbonate of soda (and an acid such as buttermilk or cream of tarter) or yeast to get the effect you want.

However there are ways in which you can process eggs to make them adequate as a rising agent all on their own (especially where the cake does not contain any flower). This can be done in two ways, you can separate the whites and beat them into a meringue which you then fold into the cake mixture (the air in the meringue expands and rises the cake). Or you can beat the whole egg with sugar until it is thick, pale and creamy before adding the dry ingredients (good for chocolate or ground nut cakes). Again the incorporated air trapped in the processing of the egg mixture rises the cake.
