Recipes For Cookies Without Eggs

It happens to all of us--we have every ingredient to make a certain recipe, except for one! If you're out of eggs, I want you to still be able to bake cookies! So, these chocolate chip cookies without eggs are here to save you. This recipe makes just 8 cookies, but you can double it, if you need.

There are a few reasons we've switched to a recipe for chocolate chip cookies without eggs in our house. Thanks to my husband's discovery of Gordon Ramsay's scrambled egg recipe, I frequently go to grab an egg only to realize the carton is empty. Why my husband has recently fallen in love with cooking through a person besides me is something I'm not prepared to discuss. At least I get to enjoy Gordon's insanely delicious eggs cooked in a literal insane amount of butter. I'd rather have my eggless pancakes, instead, but don't tell him!

The main reason we've switched to chocolate chip cookies without eggs is our propensity for eating cookie dough. It's not fair for me to eat copious amounts of cookie dough, yet deny my almost 4-year old the same pleasure. I don't think it's safe for the young and the old to eat raw eggs (debate me in the comments, if you wish), and so, we altered our family recipe.

Eggless Sugar Cookies

It also occurs to me that, over the years, you guys have asked for egg-free recipes a few times. Whether you have egg allergies or love to eat raw cookie dough without worry, I'm here for you. Speaking of, have you seen my recipe forcookie dough dip?

I based this recipe on my small-batch chocolate chip cookie recipe , but instead of the egg yolk, I use 1 packed tablespoon of cream cheese. I'm referring to regular cream cheese in the block, not the whipped, not the flavored, and definitely not the light version called Neufchâtel. If you've always wondered what the one-third less fat Neufchâtel cheese is about, try this Kitchn article .

These chocolate chip cookies with no eggs are insanely delicious and slightly chewier than their original. I have nothing against using an egg yolk for a small batch of cookies, and as such, have my website divided into recipes that use egg yolks and recipes that use egg whites . But when eggs are eluding you, start here.

Ways To Make Cookie Dough Without Eggs

I should also mention that this cookie recipe without eggs has dairy products, like butter and chocolate chips. You might be looking for my Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe if you're trying to avoid all animal products.

If you look closely at these cookies, you can see the best part: the crisp, brown edges. Rest assured, these cookies are soft and chewy in the centers, but the edges are crispy. They're cookie perfection!

I recommend using a silicone baking mat when baking cookies to prevent spreading. If you bake cookies directly on a thin metal sheet, they will spread more than you like. Also, if your cookies are spreading too much, try increasing the chill time.

Eggless Oatmeal Cookies

The classic flavors that make my chocolate chip cookies so famous are instant espresso powder and lots of vanilla. Both are present here. If the coffee flavor doesn't appeal to you, let me assure you that it doesn't make the cookies taste like coffee or a mocha. The espresso just heightens the flavors in the chocolate, but by all means, leave it out if you wish.

I love that this recipe only makes 8 cookies. When I have a cookie craving, I want cookies NOW. Nothing drives me crazier than making a big batch of dough and having to bake off sheet after sheet of cookies. All of these cookies without eggs fit on one baking sheet!

This recipe has a required dough chill time. I do this because it's hard to know the difference between softened and room-temperature butter. Often, I get emails from people with 'failed' cookie recipes, and the culprit is warm butter. Softened butter is butter that has been sitting out at room temperature uncovered for about 20 minutes. You can make a fingerprint indention in it, but your finger won't easily go all the way through. Butter temperature matters A LOT for cookies.

In my expert opinion, eight is the perfect amount of eggless chocolate chip cookies for two people. We usually eat 1 cookie right out of the oven, and another cookie when they cool. The remaining 4 cookies get eaten the next day. With these cookies, I've found that the vanilla flavor heightens as they sit overnight. To store them, keep them in an airtight container with a slice of bread. The bread keeps the cookies soft and chewy.

Ingredient Peanut Butter Chickpea Cookies (vegan, Grain Free)

When it comes to making cookies with kids, I’ve found that a small pan of 6 cookies is the perfect amount. However, I know lots of kids with egg allergies, so I adapted my easy small batch sugar cookies recipe to omit eggs.

This eggless sugar cookie recipe is also great if you need cookies, but you’re out of eggs. Fans of my chocolate chip cookies without eggs and eggless banana bread will love this recipe, too!

We’re using a tablespoon of softened cream cheese as an egg replacement. Cream cheese acts as a binder, much in the same way that an egg yolk in a cookie dough does. Use regular, not whipped, cream cheese, and soften it enough that you can easily press your finger through it. Avoid the temptation to melt the cream cheese in the microwave, or else the dough will be too soft and spread too much.

Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies (the Best Ever!)

The best way to soften the butter and cream cheese in this recipe, is to leave it out on the counter at room temperature for about 2 hours.

If you're making pancakes instead of cookies, I use a mixture of oil and water to replace the eggs. Try my eggless pancakes recipe.

In my case, that means pull the butter and cream cheese out of the fridge when I wake up and make coffee. By the time I tell the kids we’re making cookies, they want to start right away! This way, all of the ingredients are ready to go.

Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

The cookies are best eaten the day-of, but will store in an air-tight container at room temperature for 2 days. I doubt they will last that long, though! You can freeze raw dough balls and bake directly from frozen, just add an extra few minutes in the oven. You can also freeze already baked cookies flat in between layers of parchment paper for up to 3 months. To defrost, place on counter for a few hours.

If you leave eggs out of a regular recipe that doesn’t account for this, the resulting dough will lack moisture. Eggs help bind cake batter, pancake batter and cookies, too. However, if a recipe knows you are leaving out the eggs and has another type of binder, the result will be nearly identical to a cookie recipe with eggs.

Butter cookies are more similar to shortbread and has a dense, buttery flavor that crumbles when biting into it. The cookie dough for butter cookies contains less ingredients, and has a higher percentage of butter, not so surprisingly. Sugar cookies are chewy in the middles and crackly on top. They have more sugar than butter cookies, and as such, as sweeter and softer in texture.

Hard sugar cookies are over-baked. This can be because you left them in the oven too long, or you let them cool too long on the cookie sheet, which has residual heat that continues to bake the cookies. Soft sugar cookies have a higher percentage of sugar. Rolling the cookies in sugar before baking guarantees a softer sugar cookie.These Eggless chocolate chip cookies have NO eggs and NO milk, but are perfectly soft, chewy, and with crisp edges!
