Can you use the baking soda you have in my fridge to bake cookies?

It is not recommended. The soda in the fridge has absorbed a lot of different odors and tastes that will affect your baking. The moisture in the air can also react with and decrease its leavening power.
You can test the baking powders potency by taking a spoonful and mixing with a bit of hot water or vinegar. If it bubbles, the soda is still active, but that doesn't get rid of the flavors it has absorbed in the fridge.

What cookie recipes dont use baking soda or baking powder?
Most cookie recipes will usually include one or the other in a small proportion, because if the cookie rises slightly it becomes less dense and more crumbly. However some cookies need to be dense, so these ones will usually omit the leavening agents (the baking soda and/or bicarb). Cookies don't actually need to rise as much as other baked goods (such as muffins) need to, so even if a leavener is included, it is usually in a tiny proportion.
Does using baking powder or baking soda make cookies thicker?
If by "thicker" you mean raised higher, then yes, perhaps. Baking powder and baking soda are both "leavenings," which cause cookies and other baked goods to rise. But there are many possible reasons that cookies bake up too flat and chewy: Too much liquid Too much fat (butter) No acidic ingredient to react with baking soda. Too much baking soda or baking powder. Not enough egg. Not baked long enough Baked at the wrong temperature. All these possibilities depend on the specific recipe. Some cookies contain nothing more than flour, butter and sugar. Other cookies have long lists of ingredients. And some cookie recipes are MEANT to produce flat, chewy cookies.
