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.
It changes the taste and texture of the cookie. Without Sugar the cookie is not sweet.
The vanilla might slightly affect the taste, but the baking soda and salt will affect the outcome of the cookies.
You would get the data by making up a batch of cookies, baking some of them, and seeing if they taste the same as the unbaked ones (careful with this; if the dough contains raw egg, it could make you sick). The conclusions and results would come from your observations about the taste of the cookies.
Flour is the ingredient with the greatest amount, but without the ginger and molasses, the cookies would not have their unique taste.
Yes.
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.

It depends on the missing ingredient. Missing sugar will leave the cookie bland. Missing egg will result in a very crumbly cookie. Missing chocolate chips will result in a sugar cookie. See?
Shortening is the lesser of two evils as an ingredient in cookies. It is an acceptable, but not desirable, substitute. Taste and texture are sub-optimum. Lard tends to give cookies an unusual texture, too flaky. Even cutting lard with shortening will not help greatly. However, butter is by far the ideal ingredient to supply the fat in cookies.
Yes, it does affect the taste of the cookie. With the sugar being a flavor of vanilla, it would make the cookie have a hint of vanilla taste to it. I would expect it to taste quite well, actually.
Cream of tartar is a key ingredient in snickerdoodle cookies because it helps activate the baking soda, which gives the cookies their characteristic soft and chewy texture. It also adds a tangy flavor that enhances the overall taste of the cookies.
The cookie will be bland.
