Yes you MUST use it or a substatute. It is a levening agent and is what makes the cookie rise. Without it you will have a flat thin mess that isn't very tasty. If you have baking powder you can use it instead. Baking powder to soda ratio is 4 to 1 so use 1/4 the amount of powder hence 1/4 teaspoon. Enjoy!

It's very hard. I'm sure there is a substitute but I have no idea what it could be. The baking soda causes a special chemical reaction that creates the consistence of your cookie. If you don't use it, your cookie will probably be flat and hard.

you can go without, but your cookies won't rise and will be tough

yes. I tried it once and it crumbled and the taste was not right. Also dont substitute it with baking powder either.
