How do you use baking powder to make cookies rise?
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.

How does baking powder affect density?
Baking powder reduces density. The action of the baking powder produces gas that causes the product to rise, making the dough or batter less dense.
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.

It is a chemical reaction that causes them to rise. The heat of the baking process helps to activate it. Baking soda or baking powder are standard additions, they react with the acids in the dough to cause lots of little bubbles that make the cookie puff up.

it helps the dough rise just like baking powder. Mostly they both have the same function. Hope this helps :)
Can you replace baking powder with baking soda in sugar cookies?
Only substitute baking soda for baking powder if the cookie dough will be baked within 30 minutes of mixing. Baking soda begins to lose potency as soon as it gets wet so baking powder is used when the dough will be allowed to sit for a long time before baking.
Is baking powder in pie crust?
No, pie crust is called a "short" dough which means it has no leavening.

There is no chemical reaction between flour and vinegar. However it will produce an acidic paste dough that will look not much different from an ordinary flour and water paste dough.
Which chemical use in biscuit dough for rising in baking the biscuit?
There's probably a number of different chemicals depending upon the baker, but I believe you're looking for is baking powder, defined as being "a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and cream of tartar, used instead of yeast in baking."
