it won't really affect the taste.
baking powder is used to help pastries/cookies rise, so the cookies just might be a little flat and hard.
Because baking powder has a rising ability
yes
yes, it has baking soda or baking powder, sometimes both. As these are chemical leaveners this makes a cookie a chemical property.
i say you use baking soda i use it every time i make cookies
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.
Omitting an ingredient in cookie recipes can have a significant impact on taste and texture. Ingredients like sugar provide sweetness and contribute to browning, while fats like butter or oil add richness and moisture. Missing leavening agents like baking soda or baking powder can affect the cookies' rise and texture. Overall, omitting an ingredient can alter the balance of flavors and result in cookies that may be less sweet, dry, dense, or lack the desired structure.
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.
it helps make a cake!
You can add some baking powder, but it's not an ideal substitute; baking powder is a mixture of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and cream of tartar. This means you need to add slightly more than is baking powder than the quantity suggested for baking soda; usually around 1/4 teaspoon on top of the quantity suggested for bicarb.
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.
Baking powder and baking soda both act as a leavening agent. They would do the same thing
Some examples of leavening agents include yeast, baking powder and eggs. Leaving agents chemically react to add air and make the food rise.
