Help I added baking powder instead of baking soda for chocolate chip cookies What do I do now I don't want to panic too much Is this a sign of the end of time?
No, this is a time to discover and learn, a time to regale in the miracles of chemistry!! The end of time will come later, probably when you serve your favorite Shiraz with veal scallopini, and everyone asks if you have a bottle of white. Fools.
Anyway, baking powder is simply baking soda diluted with corn starch (so the manufacturer can make more money) and topped up with an acid, such as cream of tartar or monocalcium phosphate, to make the stuff work.
So, you have simply added too little baking soda, but you have added the acid necessary to make the soda fizz. Forget about the corn starch, it is mostly a filler to make it appear that you got your money's worth.
Add a bit more baking soda to make up for the corn starch, and don't worry too much about the vinegar, lemon juice or whatever acid called for in the recipe (since you have already added the acid in the baking powder mixture) and you should end up with something that resembles Chocolate Chip Cookies. If they don't, then put a generous dollop of whipped cream (or anything else handy) on top along with a strawberry or cherry and serve them with a glass of Brandy. Tell everyone it is French.
