Baker’s ammonia (ammonium carbonate) is a classic leavener, called for in your grandmother’s or great-grandmother's recipes.

  • Baker's Ammonia (ammonium carbonate) makes extra-crisp cookies or crackers.
  • Use in old-fashioned recipes calling for it (or for hartshorn).
  • Yes, it has a very strong smell when baking; don't worry, it totally dissipates by the time the cookies are done.
  • 2.7-ounce container.

This Baker's Ammonia makes the crispiest, best cookies that ever melted in your mouth. It has a strong ammonia smell when the cookies are baking, but it goes away as the cookies bake. Excellent cookie recipes using this ingredient are found in the King Arthur's Cookie book.

I bought this so I could make the 'Vanilla Dreams' recipe on this site. I'm fairly certain that this is the stuff that gives the Danish Butter Cookies (the ones that come in a tin) their texture. Cookies came out awesome, and I think this stuff is great.

Despite my skepticism, I purchased this for a sugar cookie recipe - it is SO worth it! The cookies were incredible - a shortbread flavor with crispiness I've never achieved from any baking powder cookie. Do not inhale this stuff - it smells very strong, but once mixed in and baking, the odor dissipates.

I bought this to use in a cookie recipe I printed off the King Arthur Flour website. I must admit that I had never heard of it and thought it was an odd thing to add to a recipe, but I found that it made the cookies delicious! A word of caution: After you open this, DO NOT SMELL IT! I have to smell every new ingredient I purchase, but smelling this one was a huge mistake because its extremely potent! It cleared out my sinuses and had tears running down my face for several minutes. It was quite funny, but now I always read the labels before smelling anything new! This is a great product!
