I was concerned they would be crunchy, but thankfully, they weren&#8217;t. They were chewy, just the way I like them. If you do make these cookies, be sure to read the recipe well. I was so sure that it called for yeast, so I didn&#8217;t buy yeast from the store because I have some at home. When I got ready to start, I realized that the recipe actually called for baking soda. I was hoping that baking soda would work the same way as yeast, so I went on Twitter to ask.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Quick question for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search\/%23Cooks\">#Cooks<\/a>: Is baking soda the same thing as yeast infection?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 VeraEzimora (@verastic) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/verastic\/status\/324193392512884738\">April 16, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What I really meant to ask was, <em>&#8220;Is baking soda the same thing as yeast?&#8221;<\/em> But somehow, <em>infection<\/em> always comes after <em>yeast<\/em>.
