Vanilla extract is a flavor enhancer, so in the literal sense, no... you do not "need" to use it. But it would be recommended, unless you either do not like it, or wish to replace the flavor with a substitute.

Cut cookies out before or after baking?
Cut them out before. That way you can roll out the extra dough and get more cookies, and the cookies will also not crumble that way.

What effect does baking soda and baking powder have on cookies?
Depending on how much extra you put in, it may have little effect on the outcome. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a leavening agent and affects how much your cookies will rise. Its effectiveness, however, depends on the ratio of other ingredients in your recipe. A little extra may have little or no effect, where twice as much is likely to strongly affect the baked texture and taste of the cookie.If you've put in a teaspoon instead of a half-teaspoon, as an example, you could double the remaining ingredients in the recipe. You will have a much larger batch of cookies, but will be more assured that the taste and texture of the baked cookies will be as you expected. Depending on the type of cookie you are baking, you may be able to freeze the extra dough to bake at a later time with no additional work. (Note: Drop cookies are generally better frozen as 'drops' before placing in freezer storage container. When ready to bake, reduce the recipe's suggested temperature by 25 degrees and bake 3 - 7 minutes longer until tops of cookies are no longer glossy.)
How do you cook carob chip cookies?
Carob cookies can be baked in the same manner as the equivalent cookie made with cocoa or chocolate. It is not necessary to change the baking temperature or time. Additions such as extra vanilla or flavored frostings can minimize the different taste some people notice when carob is substituted for chocolate.
Is baking bread a endothermic and exothermic?
Sounds like a homework question. We know that in an exothermic reaction, heat is taken out of the system and given to the surroundings. Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is pulled from the surroundings into the system. I am assuming you are thinking of the cookies as the system. So in this case, energy--in the form of heat--is being taken out of the oven and being put into the cookies. The cookies, using the energy increase in temperature, which bakes the cookies, creating the tasty little morsels of joy that cookies are.

How do you change a flat cookies to a fat cookie?
There are a few different things that you can try. Some people substitute half of the butter with butter flavored crisco with good results. If you prefer the taste of buttery cookies or don't like the idea of using crisco or shortening for your cookies, then you can try increasing the flour. For example, the tollhouse recipe calls for 2 1/4 cup of flour for a batch. Increase the flour to 3 cups (sifted). This makes them denser and they will not spread. You can also chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the fridge before baking. ++++OR++++ You may want to try these. If some answers may be the same as above I do apologize. There are a few things that can cause cookies to turn out flat. A few of the most common reasons are: The butter is too warm when you add it to the batter; try refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes before baking. The baking powder or baking soda is old. The oven temperature may be off. Too much extra butter or shortening from greasing a baking sheet; instead of greasing, use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Baking chocolate chip cookies with cumin or cardamon?
While cumin would be a novel flavor, I think best to stick with the cardamon and perhaps a touch of extra vanilla. Cumin is a savory flavor that although can go well with chocolate, may be a bit much for the rest of the ingredients.
