Why is baking powder important to a recipe?
If baking powder is called for in a recipe, it is essential. The base and acid components in the powder, when wet, create the air bubbles that cause the dough to rise, making the end product soft and allowing it to cook thoroughly. Without the baking powder or baking soda (see below), the result of baking unleavened dough will be just hot dough or perhaps dough dried hard. If you have no baking powder but have baking soda, you can substitute a combination of baking soda plus an acidic ingredient, such as molasses, buttermilk or yogurt, or even a little citrus juice.
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.

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.
