Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Been searching for an eggless chocolate chip cookie recipe for ages? These one-bowl cookies without eggs hit the spot with tender, fudgy goodness that will have you craving more after the first bite. 

BEST EVER Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Every dessert aficionado has their idea of the perfect chocolate chip cookie. These eggless chocolate cookies are ours! Crispy edges, a chewy center, and gooey chocolateโ€”that's the dessert in a nutshell.

The no-egg chocolate chip cookie recipe Iโ€™m sharing here is one I have perfected over dozens of trials, countless cups of coffee, and midnight baking sessions. Itโ€™s the simplicity of it that youโ€™ll love.

WHY TRY A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE WITHOUT EGGS?

They are the ultimate comfort dessert and truly a family staple.

Without fail, these eggless cookies turn out excellent each time!

Sharp flavors and easy to makeโ€”even my youngest confidently whips up a batch.

Make countless variations, and each one is a total winner! 

Make ahead: You can leave the no-egg cookie dough to chill overnight.

HOW TO MAKE EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES AT HOME?

Step 1: Start with making your flax egg (which Iโ€™ll get to in a moment).

Step 2: Blend both white and brown sugar with softened (not melted) butter.

Step 3: When well mixed, add in your flax egg and vanilla. I also like to add a touch of coffee to the mixture at this point. Chocolate and coffee are really a match made in heaven. Just 1 tablespoon of brewed coffee brings out such gorgeous richness. 

Step 4: In the same bowl, sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. 

Step 5: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet gently.

Step 6: While the eggless chocolate chip cookie dough is still streaked white with flour, add in the chocolate chips.

Step 7: Stick the dough in the fridge for an hour or longer.

Step 8: About half an hour before baking, preheat your oven to 200 ยฐC.

Step 9: Use an ice cream scoop (roughly the size of 1.5 tablespoons per serving) and transfer the chocolate chip cookie dough without eggs to your baking tray. Keep a distance of a few inches between each scoop.

Step 10: Bake for 10โ€“12 minutes, till your cookies are nicely browned with a crispy exterior. 

Final step: Serve and savor!

NOTES ON HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITHOUT EGGS 

You get the best eggless chocolate chip cookies when you donโ€™t mess with the basics. Iโ€™ve learned the hard way.

  • Adding chocolate chips to the eggless cookies at step 6 (when the dry and wet ingredients are still not completely combined) makes it easier to distribute the chocolate evenly. 
  • Chilling eggless chocolate chip cookies is very important. It allows the fats to cool, so the cookie holds a nice shape and doesnโ€™t flatten. Not only is it important for texture, but while the dough chills, the flavor gets more concentrated. Trust me, it's worth the wait.

WHAT IS A FLAX EGG?

I learned about baking with flax eggs from Jessica Hylton in this blog post. It's an excellent egg substitute that is so easy to make. 1 flax egg replaces 1 egg. To make:

  • Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water.
  • Set that to chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. When chilled, the texture of the flax egg is gelatinous.
  • Move on to the next step while you wait!

WHAT YOUโ€™LL NEED FOR THIS NO-EGG CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE

All you need are a handful of pantry ingredients and good-quality couverture chocolate.

  • A mixing bowl
  • A spatula (or a hand mixer if you find that easier)
  • Ice cream scoop (or two tablespoons)
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper or Silpat

EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE INGREDIENTS & SWAPS

Eggless: I initially created these eggless cookies for my sister, as she's allergic to eggs. The result turned out to be so delightful that we never went back. If you donโ€™t want to use flax eggs, try chia seeds.

Chocolate chip cookies with eggs: When there are no flax seeds handy, I often make this eggless chocolate chip recipe with eggs. The process remains the same, and the flavor and texture changes are nearly imperceptible.

Chocolate: When adding chocolate, opt for the best quality you can get your hands on. This really makes or breaks these cookies without eggs. I used 70% couverture chocolate chips. If you canโ€™t find good-quality chips, chop up a baking chocolate bar.

Sugar: You can make eggless chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar. Use just white sugar, or swap it with a cane or raw sugar.

Add-ons: Cocoa makes these chocolate cookies richer. Add pumpkin to make them denser and gooier. The addition of cinnamon and coffee gives them an extra kick. They are excellent without them, but I feel that the addition of these simple ingredients really takes them to the next level.

Vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe: It doesnโ€™t take much to make the eggless chocolate chip cookie recipe vegan. Replace butter with coconut oil. Make sure the oil is not melted just softened. I promise this tasted just as divine! Of course, the chocolate should also be vegan. A great vegan chocolate I use is by Mason & Co., which you can easily find online.

LETโ€™S SERVE THESE CHEWY EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

The next time you have a hankering for something sweet, eat these eggless chocolate chip cookies warm. There is nothing as gorgeous as melting chocolate. Itโ€™s pure bliss. You can even dunk them in milk or have them with your cup of coffeeโ€”the options to enjoy them are endless!

      Hi Divya, I think you can safely add 2-3 tbsp of cocoa to the batter to make them more chocolatey! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Hi Kajal, I'm sorry I don't have measurements for this recipe in grams. I am trying to add that to my recipes now. My cup measurement is a standard US 240ml size. Typically, 1 cup of all-purpose flour measures 125 gms. Hope this helps. Thank you for following along! xx
