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. This recipe seriously made me cry today. It is a few days before Christmas and we are preparing for the big family celebration with the inlaws and all the kids in the family. There will be a house full of baked goods that my 4 year old can not eat. He has never known any different. He had eggs for the first time at 1 year old and went into anaphylaxis within minutes. So he has never gotten to eat homemade cookies. I have done cake and cupcakes. But never cookies. I stumbled upon this recipe and decided to try it so I would be able to bring something he could eat for a change. They turned out perfect. Seeing him enjoy a homemade cookie for at Christmas is such a blessing and something I enjoyed so much. So thank you. Sometimes a simple cookie is such a big thing. You helped make our Christmas extra bright this year. 🙂
    I made sure butter was room temp and soft. Used the kitchenaid stand mixer. I did add an extra bit of water and I did roll dough into balls so the kiddo could help set them on the cookie sheet. I used a silpat mat and the sheet with the holes in it to bake. They did take a bit longer in the oven but that might just be my oven. They are slightly crisp on the outside while being chewy and delicious. Perfect for putting in a ziplock for travel. I made a double batch so they could be shared.

  2. Do you have a snickerdoodle recipe like this one? In all honesty I don’t know anyone with egg allergies I just was baking for the holidays as gifts and forgot the eggs at the store and I wasn’t going back I tasted the raw cookie do and it tasted just like the ones with eggs so Hoping the cookies come out just the same! It one of my favorite cookies is snickerdoodles and I made one yesterday that’s not bad but it’s very dry.

  3. I finally made these for my egg allergy boy. He was so excited to get to eat cookies. I tasted the dough and found it needed salt. I added this and it is family approved!

  4. Ridiculously Delicious!!! Just made and they are better than my tried and true that calls for eggs! Thank you!

  5. Sorry! I didn’t mean to put one star!!! The submit button is right next to the one start

  6. My in-laws are made these and they were absolutely wonderful, but when I make them they’re either too flat or not sweet enough. Not sure what I’m doing wrong here. Do you roll the dough in miniature balls before baking or do you literally just take a scoop and place it on the pan?

  7. I made these because we were out of eggs, looks very effective but its been in for longer than 18 mins and its still basically liquid. Any tips? What could I have messed up?

  8. Love these!New favourite ? just wondering how the dough would freeze,if anyone has tried!
    Thanks 🙂
