my favourite cookie recipe uses both. double the amount of baking soda to baking powder. they turn out real good. everyone who has tried the cookies love em
thank you so much for this information. i have been doing all wrong the whole time. this is the realist information that i need for the two years. thanks
wow i actually used bakin powder once and it looked like the upper part of cupcake🤣 but they were sooooo good in taste much better than the ones when i used soda even though it was the exact same recipe. Also, i never knew the difference was because of the difference in raisin agent, i was figuring out till this day🤣😭🤣😭🤣
Thank you Gemma!! I always forget this and end up with Cakey cookies! 🍪 maybe I should put a paper on the fridge to remember it or the jar!! ❤ Much love from the Netherlands 💕💕💕💕🌻💕💕💕💕
I've been always wondered why in cookies the recipes call for baking soda and not baking powder, I guess I know now! Thank you so much it's been yeaaars of wonder!
soda doesn't mean crispy & thin. it means chewy & soft, but not puffy & airy like cakey cookies. still totally fair to prefer cakey to chewy, but switching from bpowder to bsoda won't make them crispy. you have to do a lot more than just make that one small change!
Gemma, would you perchance have a tip to help a diabetic baker who replaces sugar with Splenda™ and part of the flour with fine almond flour? when I try to make cookies, they come out too crumbly. is there an ingredient I could add to help alleviate that issue? or a proportion of some other that I might alter?
Almond flour doesn't have the starch to match reg flour in volume measurements. Look at gluten free recipes. They usually add potato/corn/tapioca starch, but I assume you want that omitted to keep your sugar levels in range. GF recipes also use zanthum gum for a better texture, less crumbling. It might work for you.
@@na195097 I'm not gluten-free, so I HAD tried adding gluten to the recipes, but maybe I wasn't adding enough. I'll have to try the xantham gum (I use it in shakes), it's just so darned expensive here. Thanks for the suggestions.
Thanks for being here! You can refer to my chart here : www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-substitute-sugar/. You can also use Monk Fruit Sweetener (Lakanto classic) or erythritol. They are diabetic friendly natural sugars which can be used as white sugar at 1:1 ratio. Use them in my keto recipes: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/?submit=&s=keto+. Besides the sugar substitutes, about flours in normal recipes, substitute: COCONUT FLOUR FOR AP For every cup of all purpose flour (grain flour), you only need 1/4-1/3 cup of coconut flour. For every ounce (1/4 cup) of coconut flour, you typically need one egg and sometimes you might need more. Coconut flour does not have gluten in it and eggs are needed to keep the product together. Coconut flour is gluten free so cannot be used in yeast bread recipe which calls for gluten to work with yeast to develop the structure. ALMOND FLOUR FOR AP Substitute almond flour 1:1 for all-purpose (white) flour. Almond flour typically requires more egg or binding agent, so the recipe might need to be altered depending on different recipes. you can also add cornstarch/ tapioca starch, refer to this recipe : www.biggerbolderbaking.com/gluten-free-flatbread-3-ingredient/. The goal is to get the same consistency with the recipe that you're following. ***Note to watch for sugars in other ingredients, too. Also best to clear it with the doctor. The tolerance for sweets, including sugar substitutes and fruits, is not the same for diabetic persons.
But... baking soda is just baking powder but without an acid to activate it. That's the whole reason people use baking powder instead of baking soda, so you don't have to add in something acidic just to get the leavening effect
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;'''''''''''''''''
Hi, Chris! They are not interchangeable for the same result. The ratio is “1 part of baking soda = 4 parts of baking powder” but depends on recipes and your preferred texture. Baking soda yields chewy results with a crinkly top and baking powder yields more puffed up results and cakey texture.
So in your two other recipe's dor chocolate chip cookies should i just skip the baking powder then coz one of them includes baking powder as well as baking soda
It really depends on what you want to achieve in your cookies. I don’t use baking powder in most of my chocolate chip cookies. The two that include baking powder, Levain chocolate chip cookies, and the soft chocolate chip cookies need an extra lift. All others are either crispy, chewy or gooey - they don’t have baking powder 😊
Hope you give my recipes a go and enjoy : www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-brownies/ www.biggerbolderbaking.com/chewy-brownies-recipe/ www.biggerbolderbaking.com/crinkle-top-brownies/
We don't have baking soda in Britain, but there is not a lot of different between powder and soda, if you are British use a quarter teaspoon of tartare powder with baking powder.
I thought there would be a difference, I'm saying this in a British tone, and I'm also Filipino that's stupid enough to be fluent in English so, that's why I'm here
I’m not sure I understood you completely. Did you mean there’s no difference in the cookies? The difference is not radically obvious from appearance, but not in the texture and feel of the cookies. Cookies that use baking powder don’t usually turn out a bit on the chewy side, it’s more cakey than cookie in texture.
Thanks for your input, Shaista! 1. your dough might have been on the dry side. Flour in different places behaves in different ways, depending on how, where, when and the type of wheat grain being milled. They absorb liquid differently. You may need more for yours to get the same consistency with mine, 2. You might have over handled the dough which strengthened the gluten to prevent them from spreading . Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature and mix until just combined. 3. Or if your oven runs higher than mine, your chocolate got burnt too fast and the outside of your cookies hardened too fast so they could not spread as expected. I DO recommend chilling your cookie dough in the fridge or freezer. However, baking from frozen will affect the texture. Let frozen cookie dough sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while preheating the oven then bake them until the edges are set and the cookie is beginning to turn darker or golden brown throughout, but still doughie and a bit pale in the middle. They will set more while cooling down.

I absolutely love these tips.
When I want to enjoy cakey cookies, I use BP
When I want them to be flat & a little crunchy, I go for BS
and when you want them to be inedible, you go for BS (bullshit)
@@ninjirealLMAOOOO
I use BOTH and only 1 tsp each one and my cookies are gooey and perfect so it works for me.
Exactly! It really depends on what you are aiming for. I also use both as I want them to spread but also not too thin.
I love all your tips and recipes. Sending love from Sri Lanka. 😘
I use baking powder and baking soda for NYC choco chips. Because it need to make a dome. To make it crispy I add a tablespoon of corn flour (maizena).
Ooooohhhhhhh...........that's what happened! I used baking powder and wondered why they never flatenned😂
thank you so much for this information. i have been doing all wrong the whole time. this is the realist information that i need for the two years. thanks
Thank you for this tip!!
wow i actually used bakin powder once and it looked like the upper part of cupcake🤣 but they were sooooo good in taste much better than the ones when i used soda even though it was the exact same recipe.
Also, i never knew the difference was because of the difference in raisin agent, i was figuring out till this day🤣😭🤣😭🤣

No. I do my baking how i want. There is nothing you can do to stop me.
You have a free will.

Nah we love a cakey cookie
I use both
When I have used baking soda I have had an after taste of baking soda

Lol!
But... baking soda is just baking powder but without an acid to activate it. That's the whole reason people use baking powder instead of baking soda, so you don't have to add in something acidic just to get the leavening effect
The baking soda reacts with the sugar in cookies, which makes it rise without turning cakey like one using baking powder. Think honeycomb candy.
Whenever I use Baking soda in my cookies they still Become Cakey And they rise

Hi Kate. Baking soda is the same as bicarbonate of soda. I speak Irish English but I use terms that are widely used by most viewers.
Dont use either use cocaine
