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.)
baking soda makes cookies bigger
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 powder is a rising agent, designed to make breads and cakes soft and fluffy. This is usually not desired in cookies.
The original Nestlés Toll House cookies (chocolate chip cookies) recipe calls for baking soda, not baking powder. There is no substitute for baking soda or baking powder in a recipe. You have to have it.
don't think you can, they wont rise .There are cookies that have no leavening.
They'll explode! It happened to my grandma.
you use baking powder Another answer: No, there are some cookie recipes, such as shortbread, that do not use any leavening. But most cookies require either baking soda or baking powder, or in some cases, whipped egg whites.
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.
You can make cookies without baking soda or powder by using ingredients like self-rising flour, cream of tartar, or eggs as leavening agents to help the cookies rise.
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.
