No Eggs?! No Worries!
We’ve all had moments where we wanted to bake a treat, only to realize there are ingredients missing. Or maybe there is a food allergy and you still want to indulge? Well this simple recipe is quick, easy, and only requires a handful of ingredients!
Purpose of an egg in cookies: Eggs are used in baking to help add structure, flavor and moisture to a recipe. You can simply make your favorite cookie recipe without egg but you’ll notice they’ll be flatter and crispier than other cookies (Which for some people is their dream cookie.) We want to share an adjusted cookie recipe that uses ingredients, in place of the egg, to keep the structure, moisture and flavor we associate with chocolate chip cookies.
Eating the dough: Even though the dough no longer contains raw egg you still need to be cautious of consuming raw flour. If you want to ensure the dough is safe to eat, then bake your flour in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes. Cool the flour and mix up the recipe. You can now sneak bites of dough carefree.

Storing Tips + MORE CLASSIC RECIPES
Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days at room temperature or for up to 3 months in the freezer.
Frozen dough: You can also freeze the dough to be baked later. Place scooped dough balls onto a cookie sheet, then place it in the freezer. Once the balls are solid transfer them to a freezer safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake, place them on a baking sheet and allow them to sit for about 15 minutes before putting them in the oven. You may need to adjust the bake time to account for the colder dough.

I tried these today with a dollop of peanut butter in the mix and they were amazing! Thanks 😍
Good idea!! Thank you for letting me know that 🙂
I feel like this is a decent recipe to experiment with if you’re a beginner in the kitchen, or with cookies at least. The base recipe tastes like a bland pancake when finished. Definitely add more chocolate chips or play around with flavors. Or, you can even make Brookies (brownie-cookies) with it, that’s a good idea!
Thank you for trying them!
I made this recipe and it was really good. My only issue was they was to flat. Any tips on how i can fix this next time? Thank you
Glad you liked them! There are a few reasons cookies go flat, but it’s hard to know, since I wasn’t right there with you. Your best best is to google reasons cookies do that, so you will know what to avoid.
