Ammonia Cookies image

Jenan Madden, the manager of a book store in Seattle, shared this recipe with The Times. She acquired it as a child from a favorite baby sitter. "The taste is great," she said. "And it's fun telling people what they are called." (Ammonia cookies are in fact made with ammonium carbonate, a form of baking soda, not cleaning ammonia, which is poisonous.)

I'm not sure if my oven is the right temperature. My cookies always seem to be underbaked or overbaked.

I'm not sure if I'm measuring the ingredients correctly. My cookies always turn out different.

I'm not sure if I'm using the right kind of ammonia. My cookies have a weird chemical taste.

I think I overbaked my cookies. They were a bit too brown and crispy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out right. They were flat and dense.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly. I think I'll try chilling the dough for a bit before baking them next time.

I found that these cookies were a bit too dry. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter or oil to the dough next time.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of the ammonia flavor in these cookies. I think it's a bit too strong for my taste.

These cookies are a bit more time-consuming to make than some other cookies, but they're definitely worth the effort. They're so delicious and they're sure to impress your friends and family.

I love the fact that these cookies don't require any chilling time. I can just mix them up and bake them right away. It's so convenient!

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making a cake or pie, and these cookies are the perfect way to use them up.

I was a bit hesitant to try these cookies because I'd never used ammonia in baking before. But I'm so glad I did! They're so good and they're really easy to make.

I love the way these cookies spread out and get those nice crackly edges. They're the perfect cookie to dunk in a cup of coffee or tea.

I've been making these ammonia cookies for years and they're always a hit. They're so light and fluffy, and the glaze gives them a nice shiny finish.
