Baking Powder

I once made chocolate chip cookies that were super puffy and held their shape well. I thought it was the regular old Nestle's recipe, but I just made that recipe again, and it didn't exactly hold its shape (although the puffiness was satisfactory enough). Now that I think of it, I seem to recall using both baking soda and baking powder; while this time I used only baking soda. So, note to self: 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder the next time I make these cookies.

actually in my experience to keep them from spreading you should add more flour. the recipe i likes calls for 2.75 cups flour but i always put in 3 and they come out much puffier and better. i never use both baking soda and powder. but maybe that works too...

your baking ex roomy.
