I never have, but I was watching the Food Channel the other day when they addressed this issue. The Ben&Jerry’s folks said that due to no levening agent the dough would not rise and would make a rather dense cookie. Hope this helps. ---

So why did they omit the levening agent? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by The Griffin \* > \*\*So why did they omit the levening agent? \*\* My guess is that it would be pointless adding it; baking powder is added to cookies because you’re going to bake them; if you’re specifically making the dough to be consumed unbaked, there’s just no point adding the leavening.
