Comment on What the Hell Happened to my Cookies?
Cheesus@lemmy.world 8 months agoYou’re right they’re both levening agents but my understanding was in cookies soda is used for browning and not levening because there is no acid for it to react with.

Yes! It does help with browning, too. But there is lactic acid in the butter. You’ll notice a flatter cookie without soda. I like those sometimes too, flat buttery crispy bois.
