You will eat hard, flat, possibly tasty cookies. Baking soda helps the cookies rise. Without it, they stay flat, as does matzoh.
Baking soda and baking powder are very different in how they work. Think of baking powder as making something more light and fluffy. Baking soda is going to make something taste less sweet and slightly more light. But yes. If your recipe calls for baking soda, or baking powder using the correct amount of both is important. You cannot substitute one for the other.
Hmmm. One can not substitute flour with baking powder. One can however substitute selfraising flour with ordinary flour and a few teaspoons of baking powder. (My best guess would be approx 1 teaspoon of baking powder per 150-200 grams of flour.)
The basic ingredients for baking cookies are flour, baking powder, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. If you wan't more elaborate ingredients, go to http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Desserts/Cookies/main.aspx.

baking soda makes cookies bigger
Baking powder is a rising agent, designed to make breads and cakes soft and fluffy. This is usually not desired in cookies.
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.
Cookie dough recipes generally call for either baking soda or baking powder, which create gas that expands and causes the dough to rise while baking.
