If the recipe calls for it, yes.
baking soda makes cookies bigger
Baking soda is essentially tasteless. The flavor won't be affected much either way. However, i wouldn't recommend baking them without soda because it alters the baking process. If you don't want to put baking soda in, I suggest just eating the dough.
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.
Cookies can still bake without baking soda, but they may turn out denser and lack the typical light and airy texture that baking soda helps to achieve. Baking soda helps cookies rise and spread during baking, so without it, the cookies may be more compact and less tender.
The recipe that I use calls for baking soda.
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.
yesMore information:Although the purpose of adding baking soda to cookie dough is to help the cookies rise, adding baking soda to a recipe that does not call for it could have the opposite affect. Too much baking soda, or adding baking soda in addition to baking powder, might also ruin the taste of the cookies.
'Soda' refers to baking soda.
It does not. -.-
no
Baking soda helps cookies to rise and spread during baking by reacting with acidic ingredients like brown sugar. It also gives cookies a slightly crisp texture on the outside while remaining soft and chewy on the inside. Be careful not to use too much baking soda, as it can leave a bitter taste in the cookies.
