As long as you used the right amount, there shouldn't be a problem. They may raise a little more than intended, but not enough to matter.
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.
Baking powder is a rising agent, designed to make breads and cakes soft and fluffy. This is usually not desired in cookies.
baking soda makes cookies bigger
no
The recipe that I use calls for baking soda.
You can substitute baking powder for baking soda by using 3 times the amount of baking powder as you would baking soda. Alternatively, you can use self-rising flour, which already contains baking powder. But keep in mind that the substitution may affect the taste and texture of your baked goods.
i say you use baking soda i use it every time i make cookies
One is not better than the other. Baking soda will make the cookies crisper, and make them rise more. Baking powder will make them softer. Take your pick. I baked cookies with baking soda and it made the cookies look more like sticky bread than cookies. You absolutely can NOT use baking soda at all. Baking powder is for cookies, baking soda is for stuff you want to rise (like bread). The answer above is false.
To make sugar cookies without using baking powder, you can substitute it with baking soda and cream of tartar. Simply mix 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar for every 1 teaspoon of baking powder called for in the recipe. This will help the cookies rise and achieve a similar texture without the use of baking powder.
don't think you can, they wont rise .There are cookies that have no leavening.
You can substitute baking powder for baking soda in cookies, but keep in mind that the leavening effect may vary. Alternatively, you can use a combination of buttermilk, yogurt, or vinegar with baking powder to replace baking soda in your recipe.
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.
