Mimi or any other cookie experts...have you ever used baker's ammonia

I did for some cookies from Norway. It dissipates after opening the package, so be warned.
When I went to use it again the next Christmas, the ammonia base had dissipated into nothing.
Also, there are righteous debates out there in Internet World on how to distribute it throughout the dough...dissolve in water and add or add to dry ingredients and mix in? The two camps are pretty fierce in their defenses.
I didn't notice that much of a difference, but then it was a new cookie for me.

Wow I'm late to this...no, I've never used it!
I hear that it really stinks up the kitchen with the smell of ammonia while cooking, but the cookies don't taste like it at all.
Here is a link where you can buy it.

My mom used to use it in some cookies she made at Christmas time.
They were so good, but she wasn't very good at grinding the ammonia, so I remember every once in awhile you would get a little bit of ammonia...yuck! I want to try these again with the ammonia and using the substitute of baking soda and powder. As I remember them, they were a very light and airy cookie. Thanks everyone!
