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.

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. Great recipe. I really wanted to make chocolate chip cookies but never have eggs in the house. I was worried but then remembered that shortbread cookies don't call for eggs and I love those so I gave these a shot. I love them! I will make again!

  2. I never comment on recipes, but this one is AMAZING. I've made it too many times to count and it's turned out great every time. I noticed that a lot of commenters had trouble with the dough being dry, but I think that just depends on the weather. Where I live is rather humid and I've never had trouble with the dough. I do want to try making this vegan by using Earth Balance sometime as well.

  3. These are great. They are our go to cookie recipe for my daughter with an egg allergy. No one can even tell the difference. I do have to double the oil and water in order to get the dough a good consistency, otherwise it's too crumbly for us. I'm so glad I found this recipe.

  4. I tried this recipe this Mother's Day for my mother-in-law whose has an egg allergy and they turned out great except for one thing. So i noticed that the recipe has a tip that says if the dough is crumbly add more water because the dough is not supposed to be crumbly, well my dough ended up being quite dry and crumbly so i added a few more tablespoons of water and my cookies ended up tasting a bit bland. So upon reflection i realized that adding all that extra water dulled the vanilla and sugar flavors. So my tip is if you add more water add more sugars and vanilla, which might be obvious to not so novice bakers as myself 😉

  5. Just made these with EVOO (A little extra and some extra water as batter was too crumbly before) - these came out AMAZING, perfectly chewy but not too soft. Thank you so much me and the husband are big fans, will be making these again.

  6. These are soooooo good. I used 1/4 cup skor bits and 3/4 cup mix white and chocolate chips, the result is they were decadent! The mixture seems crumbly but actually is not, use your hands to compress the dough when all the ingredients have been incorporated. Will make again!

  7. Using this recipe to make a dessert pizza for my teenage son. It's in the oven now. I tasted the dough before baking lol. Has a great taste! Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to taste the finished product.

    (I did add 2 Tbsp extra water but that was just my preference.)

  8. Amazing, but I needed to ad 2 and a half table spoons of water but there delicious practically the cookies I ever made and I have made some great cookies

  9. I followed the recipe step by step. I did have to use sunflower oil instead of veg oil though..... Oh and I added 1tbsp water as my mixture was dry. I left them in the oven for 10 minutes..... Checked them and felt they needed a tad longer.... So I left them in for a further 2 minutes. The end result crisp but sadly not chewy as I hoped despite using soft light brown sugar.
