Same Cookie Dough, 4 Different Results (Baking Soda vs Powder)

Baking soda and baking powder are not the same thing… and in cookies, they can completely change your results. I took the exact same chocolate chip cookie dough and tested it four ways: no leavening at all, baking soda only, baking powder only, and both. Some cookies spread way too much, some turned out thick and cakey, and one batch was honestly just not good. If you’ve ever wondered what happens if you skip baking soda, swap it, or just aren’t sure which one to use, this will make it very clear. In this video I break down what each one actually does and how it affects the chewiness, thickness, spread, and more of your cookies. 🍪 What you’ll learn: The difference between baking soda and baking powder How each one affects spread, texture, and browning Why some cookies turn out greasy or dense When to use one, the other, or both If you like baking experiments like this, let me know what I should test next. I have a long list going 😊 Full recipe:    • These cookies are the WORST!   More cookie recipes:    • MORE Chocolate Chip Cookies   I'd love to see what you're making!
