Yeah, I did some belated research and it is bicarb, but most guides says it needs an acid to react to and I couldn't see one in the ingredients?
It's not a big thing though, hope yours turn out well!

To celebrate a local Halloween Festival, my mom and I decided to make a couple new batches of Evelyn's Cookies. Recap: these are "hybrid oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies" which makes them heartier and more filling than usual chocolate chip cookies. Because of the number of people in attendance, we made the cookies a little smaller this time and made twice as much dough. We had to run 7-8 trays of cookies in the end

And my mom also had a separate recipe of lemon zest sugar cookies to go with them.

We were on a tight schedule, so my mom thought it would be a good idea to cook them right after forming the dough balls, but I talked her into testing with 1 tray to see how different it was. And the difference isn't so much in the taste as the texture. When forming cookie dough balls, they have to cool in the fridge for at least 1 hour so the flour is fully absorbed and moist. The experimental batch was considerably more dry as a result. So we made extra time for the others.

Overall, they turned out great, and making the cookies smaller made them last a lot longer than I expected, even accounting for the oats. Happy Halloween!
