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!!

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!

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!

OKAY ... I've been using different butters and i highly recommend. Using butter ask directed for that wonderful soft cookie...
BUT ... I'd decided to try the Crisco baking shortening and the cookie came out a nice crunchy milk dunking delight same amount called for the butter.
Again awesome recipe
I made these and they were delicious (son is allergic to dairy and eggs so I used Enjoy Life choc chips and vegan butter). Could you help me with how to make these oatmeal choc chip cookies? Any recommendations? Thanks for the delicious recipe!
I have an oatmeal cookie recipe being published in about a week! I'll post it here so you can find it. They are so good.
I love this! Easy to make and I melted the butter in the mwave for 20 secs first. Just used a wooden spoon throughout and hoped for the best! They were delicious, thank you so much ??❤
I made these and used 1 T flaxseed meal and 3 T water instead of the 1 T water and 2 T oil.
This is the formula for replacing an egg in a recipe with flaxseed meal.
Came out perfect and saved 26 g of fat
Plus healthier.
Let flaxseed meal and water stand together 5 mins after blending before adding to recipe for best results but I’ve added dry flaxseed meal and then water to a recipe and it was fine!
Yo yo yo my name is joe and my butt is bigger than...... a sink! Woooooohooo these coookies are sooooooo great. They are delicious!
is it possible to make these into a bar cookie and put all of the batter in a square pan?
Any suggestions such as size of the pan or baking time?
Thank you
I've never tried that and not sure how it would turn out. I don't think very good. Maybe try a 9" x 13" dish and cook a little longer. Let me know how it turns out.
Is it okay to use only white sugar instead of brown sugar?
I don't think that will work very well.
Substitute the vegetable oil for a good fruity extra virgin olive oil and change the water to 3 tablespoons of red wine.
Side note. The crumblyness of the dough has nothing to do with the temperature of the butter. That is of course if you have properly creamed the butter. (By first beating the butter by itself for 2 minutes, then gradually adding the sugar and beating for a further 6-8 minutes.) it comes down to the simple fact of the inaccurate method of scaling ingredients by volume rather then by weight.
There have been instances I’m sure where you have added to much of one dry indgredient and have had to compensate along down the line. Therefore introducing inconsistencies in the final product. Which makes recipe creation a bitch.
Made these today and my whole family liked them better than my usual recipe with eggs. I loved them as well and will continue to make them as they are way easier to make than my previous recipe.
Do you think this recipe would work with non-dairy butter?
Yes- My brother is allergic to milk and we use non-dairy butter.
