What happens to chocolate chip cookies when no soda or baking powder is used in them? Soda and powder are used to produce a gas when exposed to hot temperatures that will make the cookie rise in the oven. Without these leavening agents, you will have a crisp flâ¦at cookie.

It's often used in cookies because they contain acidic ingredients such as buttermilk, molasses, citrus juice, cocoa or brown sugar. Because of this, using a baking soda substitute will not work on cookies that rely heavily on acidic ingredients for flavor or texture development, such as ginger snaps or lemon cookies.
