Do dutch cookies use baking soda or powder?

Dutch cookies don't have a single, defining characteristic when it comes to baking soda or powder. It really depends on the specific cookie recipe.

Here's why:

* Variety of Dutch cookies: There's a wide range of cookies in the Netherlands, from classic speculaas to more modern creations. Each recipe uses different ingredients and techniques.

* Leavening agents: Both baking soda and baking powder are used in cookie recipes, depending on the recipe's needs. Baking soda requires an acidic ingredient to activate, while baking powder is already activated.

* No specific Dutch tradition: There isn't a strong tradition of using one over the other in Dutch cookie baking.

To find out whether a specific Dutch cookie recipe uses baking soda or powder, you need to refer to the actual recipe.

For example, a recipe for traditional speculaas cookies might use baking soda, while a recipe for a chocolate chip cookie might use baking powder.
