As I was cutting out my gingerbread cookies I realized I forgot to add the baking soda. It is for CI's crisp gingerbread made in the food processor. Can I stick it back in and add the baking soda or should I just pitch them and take a nap?

Mary, it's not worth getting sick over! :lol:

Sorry...couldn't resist. Since they are crispy ones anyway, it might not make that much difference if thet are flatter than normal. I'd bet they'd still be good dipped in tea.

I stomped my feet and threw them away. I lost all my lust for cookies all at once. Will have to make do with chocolate chip, world peace, oatmeal, chocolate mint bars, fig bars and molasses rum.

Since rolled cutouts don't require leaveners and often do not have them, I suspect that the purpose of the baking soda is to increase the pH of the dough to encourage browning. Without it, the cookies may be a bit pale and lack some of the flavor that comes with browning, but I do not think that the result would have been a disaster.
