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!!

Ingredients for No Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Butter (1 stick)- I normally use salted butter because that's what I normally have in my refrigerator.
  • White sugar
  • Brown sugar
  • All-purpuse flour
  • Baking soda
  • Vanilla extract- You can make your own.  Here are the instructions to do that.  It’s REALLY easy!
  • Water
  • Vegetable oil
  • Chocolate chips

Directions for Egg Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Beat the butter with white and brown sugars for 1 to 2 minutes, until creamy with an hand mixer (This is the one I got for my wedding and it’s still going strong).  I just got this mixer as a Christmas gift and LOVING it!
  • Add in flour and baking soda. Mix.
  • Add water, oil, and vanilla and mix.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
  • Drop by spoonful  onto the baking sheet.  I usually do about 1-2 tablespoons and put 12-16 on the cookie sheet.  
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.

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. 

Just a quick friendly reminder: I would absolutely LOVE it if you could drop some feedback in the comment section for these mouthwatering blueberry muffins. A shiny 5-star rating would be awesome! Your ratings really make a difference for others looking for new and tasty recipes. Thanks a bunch!

Notes

Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Tip

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.

  1. I just made these for a playdate for someone who doesn't eat eggs and they're fabulous! I eat eggs, but like them just as much as regular chocolate chip cookies. I did add 1/2 tsp of salt to make them a bit more like the traditional recipe I used but otherwise didn't change anything. And the kids had fun making them and trying the dough since it's egg free. Thank you!!!

  2. Tried this recipe exactly as listed and found the centre of the cookies were doughy, even after I left them in for 14 minutes instead of the recommended 12. Not sure what happened. Perhaps they need to be pressed down flatter so that they cook evenly? The outside was crunchy, bottom was a golden brown, but the centre tasted uncooked. Anyone else have this problem? Also found the flavour was a bit lacking when they cooled down.

  3. They taste great but for some reason my batch had a interesting potato taste.

  4. We ran out of eggs so I looked up a recipe and this one was postitive. They turned out delicious!! I thought that the wet ingredient measurements were perfect for me I just used a hand mixer for a little longer to bring it all together. I didn’t have vanilla, so I used two spoonfuls of peanut butter and added it with the butter and sugars and it worked great!

  5. Lovely and worth trying recipe! Just one question - Can the all purpose flour be replaced with whole wheat flour?

    1. I wouldn't do all whole wheat, maybe half white and half whole wheat would work.

  6. Made the dough and baked them inside the windshield of my car on a very hot day (The oven thermometer we used registered a temperature of almost 200°!). The cookies were amazing. Will make again— maybe use the oven next time.

  7. i just tried these, and i find as if these are better than when i use eggs ! i absolutely love these, thank you ! <3 🙂

  8. Made these earlier. Very good. I had no eggs and was craving choc. chip cookies. The dough tastes great! I let the butter sit out to get soft. I used a little bit of whole wheat flour. I added 1 more Tbsp of water. I mixed these by hand. I formed 2 (level) Tbsp of dough into a ball for each cookie. Counting for the dough we ate before cooking, there were about 14 cookies. I wanted to make a second batch, but it got too late. My toddler enjoyed these. They baked in a toaster oven for 12 min, and they probably could have gone another minute or two. Mine were round/dome-shaped, kinda like a muffin top lol. They smelled and looked more like pancakes, but luckily didn’t taste like them! Next time, I plan to use less sugar, and just 1 Tbsp dough per cookie.

  9. This cookies are awesome my girls and i just finished baking them and tried one and wow.... thanks for sharing
