Cookie Recipes – Questions

Do cookies need yeast?

No. Most traditional cookie recipes do not use yeast. Instead, many cookie recipes (i.e. chocolate chip cookies) use baking soda or baking powder as a leavening agent. These ingredients help cookies to quickly rise and become more airy & fluffy. Moreover, many easy-to-make cookies are fully cooked with 8-11 minutes and this is not nearly enough time for yeast to rise.

Why is baking soda added to cookie recipes?

Baking soda is added to many cookie recipes because it acts a “leavening” agent. The baking soda helps the cookie dough to rise during the baking process. This results in an airier & fluffier cookie.

For more information on baking soda, you should read this Wikipedia article.

I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your fantastic baking tips. Here are some of our recent visitor comments. Visit our Noteworthy Comments section if you want to read more visitors tips & recipe variations.

  • Trisha left us a great note about our Bread Machine Rolls (which also inspired me to look up the “birth year” of bread machines… 1986) – “I am a second-generation bread machine baker. I usually use my mom’s recipe she calls “my favorite bread machine recipe”. Today I tried this Buttery Italian Rolls recipe and now it”s MY favorite bread machine recipe. It was very easy AND it makes the best, light and tasty rolls. Bravo Bread Dad!“
  • Martha posted a fantastic “apple” variation to our Bread Machine Cinnamon Raisin Bread recipe – “This bread gets made about twice a month, my family loves it. Today I realized I only had enough golden raisins to make about 1/3 of a cup. I made up the difference with some dried apples I had just purchased at Trader Joe’s. They were similar in texture and moisture content, and I chopped them to a size comparable with the raisins. A great combo & so delicious“
  • Jon left us a very nice note about our Bread Machine Cinnamon Bread (with Chocolate Chips) – “i’m a relative n00b when it comes to the bread machine but this recipe made one of the most delicious things to come from it. moist and great amount of sweetness, so delicious! thank you!“
  • WonderingOpal posted some fantastic flour combination ideas for our Bread Machine Oatmeal Bread – “I made this recipe (2 lb loaf) exactly as listed the first time I made it and it came out PERFECT. I also tried it with a small diversion: 2.5 cups all purpose flour and 1/2 cup spelt flour (*left everything else exactly the same) and it produced a BEAUTIFUL loaf of bread that way as well. Since then, I’ve tried it this same way with 1/2 cup of Rye and another time with 1/2 cup Ainkorn. All of them come out quite nice but my favorite was with spelt. **This recipe is perfect.” 
  • Janice left some AMAZING tips on how to turn our No Butter Banana Bread into a Bundt “cake” – “I used a Bundt pan that was lightly greased on the bottom. A small offset metal spatula that I use to frost cupcakes worked well to loosen it after cooling, and get into the crevices in the shape of my Bundt pan. The Bundt pan solved the problem I’ve always had in the past of the interior of my bread taking so long to completely cook that the outer edges of the bread were always over baked. An internal temperature of 200 degrees let me know when the bread was done baking, so if you have a good quality temperature probe, use it. My bead was done baking in 55 minutes, I believe because it was in a nice “tube” not a large brick with very moist banana center that took forever to bake all the way through. This is a truly wonderful recipe. Used corn oil, added a cup each of toasted chopped walnuts and chocolate chips, and everyone loved it. Husband commented it is the best thing I’ve ever made and my hobby is baking! My 5 year old grandson who hates nuts sat at the table and kept cutting off little pieces to eat. I’m so glad I found this recipe and also solved my problem of banana bread that takes so so long for the center to cook by using a Bundt pan. Super moist wonderful recipe. Thank you.“
