What effect does baking powder and baking soda have on cookies and cakes?

I baked chocolate chip cookies yesterday with a new recipe. The cookies came out hard and brittle-not soft. It was a new recipe and I am wondering if adding more-or less baking powder/soda was the reason?? Just wondering what effect baking powder and baking soda have on baking? ------
