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.

    these are so good i use this recepie even when i have eggs and i just replace the oil with 1 egg, but even when i used the butter completely melted it was still super crumbly, so you just add water at the end until its a normal consistancy

    I’m a chocolate chip cookie fanatic, it’s the only cookie I eat and need. Trying to move away from animal products but I wanted cookies. Guess what, you need eggs and I didn’t have any! Thanks to “the Google” I found this recipe. Followed it to T but I added cinnamon and a lot more chips (60% cocoa). Hands down, the best recipe I’ve ever used and definitely saving it. I’m going to attempt to go a little healthy with it next time by using almond flour, coconut sugar and applesauce in place of the oil… oh also used avocado oil, didn’t have regular vegetable. I also baked 1-2 min less, too much baking time for my oven. The cookies came out just as the recipe says.. chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I had the nerve to share and my supervisor asked how did I get them so chewy. If yours come out any other way than she described in the recipe…. you ain’t doing it right. Try again. Oh and so good, my grown son thought they were store bought.

    This recipe is great! We don’t eat wheat and refined sugar, so I used Oat Flour and Raw sugar for the white sugar and Maple sugar for the brown sugar and it is excellent. The dough was very easy to work with. It’s a new favorite and we were out of eggs, so I’m so glad I found this!

    I had a craving for chocolate chip cookies today but had no eggs... I googled eggless chocolate chip cookie recipes and viola!!!! These are quite good! The only issue I had was the dough was a little crumbly at the end but I just added a few teaspoons of water and they came together perfectly!
    No one would know they are eggless and I am looking forward to trying more of her recipes.
    Thanks!
