The best EGGLESS chocolate chip cookies recipe

I’ve been allergic to eggs my entire life and I’m always on the lookout for new no-egg recipes.  These are best EGGLESS chocolate chip cookies EVER!  You don’t have to look any further.  People always ask if they have eggs because they are so good.  They can’t even tell.

We make these several times a month at my house and now my 12 year old has taken over some of the duties and can make them by himself.  (He usually leaves the cleaning up to me though!)  We’re working on that!

In fact, It’s also great if you like to snack on the dough and I have to remind my kids that most people put eggs in the dough and you can’t eat it.  I think each of my three kids eat at least 2 cookies worth of dough.

The best EGGLESS Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

For those of of you that are just finding me and my recipes for the first time, I’ll tell you a little about myself.  I’m allergic to eggs and I don’t like making things I can’t eat.  My mom discovered I was allergic to eggs when I was around 6 months old- so 40 years ago.

When I was young I really just stuck to Dairy Queen ice cream, Oreos, and Chips Ahoy, and M&Ms for my any sweet treats.  Now I have more time and my kids are older to try out some recipes that I can eat. However, I still love Dairy Queen!!

Here are some more eggless recipes that you need to check out that are on my site.

Here are a couple of my helpers!  How long does it take 3 people to make cookies?  In fact, it takes much longer than just me because they just don’t understand why you can’t cook a giant cookie the same time you cook a mini cookie! 🙂

I’m so glad they are getting old enough to make them without any help now!

Here’s the mixer I have and love.  They have them one sale all the time, so check it out if you’re needing a new one.


This tee is the BEST!  It comes in toddler size 2-4 and in a lot of other colors too.  It’s perfect for field trips, birthday parties, and preschool!

I have a feeling if this had been around when I was little my mom would have put this on me! I designed this tee so all profits go back to my site to buy groceries so I can make more egg free recipes!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Tips

I’ve had a few people mention that their dough is dry and crumbly. First,  it should not be crumbly and should look moist and stick together well.  You may have to go back several times with the water to get it just right.  

Second, I’ve noticed that a lot has to do with the room temperature of the butter.  If I rush things and the butter is still a little cold, the dough needs more water.

I found the cookie dough was perfect, nice & moist and it stuck together, i did think at the start when I was mixing it it seemed abit dry but as I continued to mix it the mixture got more moist. The difference I did was I used room temperature margarine, that had been out of the fridge for a few hours,

I used.. 5 tablespoons of Margie 1 1/2 tablespoons of water 2 tablespoons of oil & 2 teaspoons of vanilla.. (I always add extra just cause)

If you had to use extra water maybe just add extra vanilla?

Still waiting for them to come out of the oven :)

I had no eggs, so I tried this recipe. Followed it to the letter, except I used reduced calorie margarine. They came out perfect. Tastes just as good as all the Choc Chip Cookies I've ever made. Thicker and fluffier than the ones I make with eggs.

Made there and really enjoyed them! The dough was dry and crumbly so I did add some peanut butter to make peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. They came out so good

We had these yesterday at a party. Absolutely delicious! Better than cookies with egg that I've made in the past. The only change I might make is to brown the butter, for even more depth of flavour. I swapped steps 3 and 4, as I read in another comment ie first the wet ingredients with a hand mixer, then mixed in the dry ingredients with a spatula. These are especially good about 10 min after baking, with the crispy edges, soft biscuit middle, and delightful melted chocolate pockets!
