How to Make Sugar Cookies Without Baking Powder
Sugar cookie recipes often call for baking powder, which produces a soft, light consistency in these types of treats. However, if baking powder is scarce, it's simple to whip up a substitute from baking soda, cream of tartar and cornstarch. A combination of these three ingredients mimics the leavening agents in baking powder that allow baked goods to rise. This baking powder substitute measures the same as traditional baking powder. Just use it as the recipe directs.
