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!

These were great! We ran out of eggs in the fridge and stumbled across your recipe. They were actually really good for not having eggs. Tasted just like regular chocolate chip cookies with eggs. A tad grainy from the sugars but overall great cookies. We’ll definitely use this recipe again. Thank you!
I, like many others, was out of eggs this morning and had to make something for a school function and I came across this recipe. Fantastic! I’m a pastry chef too so that should count for something - or so I shall tell myself. ? I found the recipe needed no alterations. I think it’s important to note, if your butter is very soft, that will help with the absorption of the dry ingredients and make the dough less crumbly. I think the proportions were spot on. Thanks for posting this. I will most definitely be making these again!
Just tried this recipe and I must say it is just like the regular chocolate chip cookie with eggs. Will be making this again and again plus probably with cocoa powder and white chocolate chips..
Just love this recipe. Cookies came out great for a first timer.. Thanks for the recipe..
I just made these tonight since I was out of eggs and craving cookies. I fiddled with them a bit. I had no chocolate chips either, and since the dough came out crumbly at first, I decided to add a 1/4 c of molasses and a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. I then rolled them in raw sugar. I over baked mine just a tad, so they were a bit crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle. Will make these again but I think I will keep them as a molasses cookie. Maybe add some candied ginger next time.
Came out awesome! I added a bit of salt, and they came out tasty. Very pretty cookies, and so easy.
These are so good!!
Like be this recipe! I’ve only made it with gluten free flour, and I’ve used regular and vegan butter also. I also have doubled it and once forgot to add the extra oil when I doubled it. I’ve also added nuts. They come out great every time. I do have to add extra water, but seems like I always have to with the gf flour.
This is my go to recipe!
I made these today while we survive the 2019 polar vortex and they were a hit!!
This recipe has been very popular this week because of the polar vortex. Everyone must be eating to pass the time! Glad you liked them.
I'm not about breaking away from my tried and true chocolate chip cookie recipe BUT when your craving cookies and are out of eggs, you'll do what you have to. So, in true American fashion, I Googled "best cookie recipes without eggs" and this recipe popped up. Since I had all the ingredients, I decided to try it out and I am glad I did. I followed the recipe, adding a bit more water because of the high altitude (in CO) and they turned out perfect!! Great recipe, very yummy!!!
I get you about sticking to recipes that work! Glad you gave them a try and liked them.
