Ammonium carbonate in the baking industry prior to the mid-19th century, the only leavening system used in baked goods was the old fermentation process. About the same time in England, a revolutionary method of producing ammonium carbonate, by the distillation of deer Horns was developed and became commonly known as "harts horn". Eventually, this form of ammonium carbonate became more readily known as "bakers Ammonia", which it is still referred to in today's baking industry. "Bakers Ammonia", or ammonium carbonate, is a uniform high purity leavening agent, produced by a chemical reaction of Ammonia, carbon dioxide and water. Ammonium carbonate is a product of exceptionally high quality and should not be confused with ammonium bicarbonate, which has a lower Ammonia content. Ammonium carbonate is a White crystalline powder which yields a strong ammoniac odor. It decomposes into Ammonia, carbon dioxide and water At elevated Temperatures. This unique property of complete decomposition into gaseous products at temperatures above 59oc is one of the most important features of this product. Decomposition occurs slowly when ammonium carbonate is opened to the atmosphere, but increases significantly when exposed to higher temperatures normally used in the baking process. Ammonium carbonate can be dissolved in water At room temperature, which is a convenient way to add to dough for even distribution. ## Features - HARTSHORN & BAKER'S AMMONIA: A classic leavening agent, bakers ammonia is also known as hartshorn. It’s used in many heirloom recipes to create airy, crisp treats. - IDEAL FOR OLD FASHIONED RECIPIES: Use with wooden & springerle cookie molds for springerle, thin and crispy cookies, or as a leavening agent for traditional European baking recipes. - NOT BAKING POWDER & BAKING SODA: Unlike baking powder & soda, bakers ammonia for baking leaves no alkaline off-flavor in baked goods. - USE ONLY ON SMALL BAKED GOODS: Baking ammonia powder should only be used on cookies, crackers, and small baked goods. Ammonia for cooking should not be used in cakes & breads. - STORE TIGHT: Ammonium carbonate for baking evaporates when exposed to air. Store tightly in a jar. (You will notice an odor during baking - this will dissipate and not be present in the finished goods). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B005GLXRC6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1 in Baker's Ammonia | | Department | All Ages, Unisex | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Model Number | 6007-0600 | | Manufacturer | LorAnn Oils | | Product Dimensions | 6 x 4 x 2 inches; 2.7 ounces | | Units | 1.00 Count | | Upc | 023535600767 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LorAnn Oils - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 76.5 Grams - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 1.00 Count ## Images ![LorAnn Oils Baker's Ammonia (Ammonium Carbonate) - Ideal for Springerle & Thin, Crispy Cookies, Perfect with Wooden Cookie Molds, Hirschhornsalz Hartshorn Ammonium Carbonate For Baking - 2.7oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vYUgYb5eL.jpg) ![LorAnn Oils Baker's Ammonia (Ammonium Carbonate) - Ideal for Springerle & Thin, Crispy Cookies, Perfect with Wooden Cookie Molds, Hirschhornsalz Hartshorn Ammonium Carbonate For Baking - 2.7oz - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616PgmdAyGL.jpg) ![LorAnn Oils Baker's Ammonia (Ammonium Carbonate) - Ideal for Springerle & Thin, Crispy Cookies, Perfect with Wooden Cookie Molds, Hirschhornsalz Hartshorn Ammonium Carbonate For Baking - 2.7oz - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719ordFz-1L.jpg) ![LorAnn Oils Baker's Ammonia (Ammonium Carbonate) - Ideal for Springerle & Thin, Crispy Cookies, Perfect with Wooden Cookie Molds, Hirschhornsalz Hartshorn Ammonium Carbonate For Baking - 2.7oz - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kEQcNpsuL.jpg) ![LorAnn Oils Baker's Ammonia (Ammonium Carbonate) - Ideal for Springerle & Thin, Crispy Cookies, Perfect with Wooden Cookie Molds, Hirschhornsalz Hartshorn Ammonium Carbonate For Baking - 2.7oz - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61q3aYZoEtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where is this made of ?China?** A: LorAnn products are manufactured in Lansing, MI, USA **Q: I only use a very small amount of this for making Christmas cookies and it has an expiration date on it. Does it really go bad? thanks.** A: Actually it does loose it's strength. I kept it tightly closed as soon as I removed the measured amount. The recommendation is to replace every year. Mine was fine for 2 years. Then it noticeably was not able to adequate leaven springerle cookies. It still smelled very strong in the container, but the cookies didn't smell as strong when drying which was a clue. Then they didn't rise enough; cookies were like eating flour. I discarded 2 whole batches of springerle before figuring out why. And those take a very long time to mold. It was adequate for some other uses when old, but from now on I'll just get a new batch of hartshorn every year. **Q: What is the expiration date on this product?** A: Should be in 2022, as this product has an expiration date of 2 years from manufacturing date. **Q: Hola, cual es la fecha de vencimiento?** A: Estos artículos vendidos por Renaes Products vencen en diciembre de 2021 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ...AND CLEANS YOUR OVEN AT THE SAME TIME! *by on Reviewed in the United States May 12, 2015* I don't know too many people that know anything about this--and I love the look on their faces when you tell them they are eating ammonia cookies! LOL (Hey, ya gotta have some fun in life, right?). I was brought up on these cookies, so the 'freak factor' of the ammonium carbonate is long gone for me. I use this with a family recipe from the late 1800's as a substitute for the standard sugar cut-out cookie, and the cookies always turn out perfect. And I mean perfect. They are light, airy, yet hold their shape and don't fall apart. Providing you don't roll the dough too thin, you get a substantial cookie (a good 1/4"+ thick) that isn't tough, has visible layers and has an excellent 'crumb'.One bonus is that no one eats the raw dough--so you get to have ALL the cookies baked. Another bonus is that it cleans your oven at the same time! (Kidding!), but I will warn you, DO NOT OPEN that oven door to check on them--the fumes will definitely burn your corneas off. If it has a window in the door, use that. And besides, they cook for such a short period of time, I think you can hold back the anticipation for the 6 minutes they are in the oven.The dough should be flavored (anise or lemon is best), and they must be frosted--either with a buttercream or if you want to get nice and fancy, a royal icing. The dough isn't very sweet, so it gets it sweetness from the frosting.Lorann Oils has the most amazing baking supplies you will be hard pressed to go anywhere else. Yes, they are on the spendy side, but you get what you pay for. Their flavorings--extracts and emulsions--are superb and what professional bakers use. Highly recommend perusing their site and getting your wish list together.PRO: The ammonium carbonate is an amazing leavening agent, and fantastic reactions from people when you tell them they've just bitten into an ammonia cookie;CON: Can't think of any ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Store in airtight container *by on Reviewed in the United States May 15, 2026* Makes for great crunchy and airy cookies, replaces your standard levening agent.Store in an additional airtight container, as it will evaporate over time. KEEP AWAY from children. Don't breath it in directly and definitely do not eat any raw dough. The cooking is what will neutralize the ammonia. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make a cookie that’s one of a kind. *by on Reviewed in the United States May 16, 2026* As promised in the cookie recipe, this baker’s ammonia makes the most incredible cookies. It gives the cookies a really unique texture. Very interesting to use. ## Frequently Bought Together - LorAnn Oils Baker's Ammonia (Ammonium Carbonate) - Ideal for Springerle & Thin, Crispy Cookies, Perfect with Wooden Cookie Molds, Hirschhornsalz Hartshorn Ammonium Carbonate For Baking - 2.7oz - Cerez Pazari Ground Mahlab, Prunus Mahaleb, Mahleb Medium Bottle, Natural Mahlep, Premium Quality Mahlepi, Aromatic Traditional Spice for Pastry and Baking, No Additives or Preservatives, 1 oz. - GranAroma Ammonium Bicarbonate, 8 oz, Baker's Ammonia, Traditional Leavening Agent --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3988728-lorann-oils-bakers-ammonia-ammonium-carbonate-ideal-for-springerle-thin](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3988728-lorann-oils-bakers-ammonia-ammonium-carbonate-ideal-for-springerle-thin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
