Soft, chewy texture. If you love soft and fluffy cookies, you need to try this recipe. They are soft in the center and slightly crispy on the edges.

Super easy to make. Chocolate chip cookies without eggs require simple and common ingredients, such as flour, butter, sugar, vanilla, and chocolate chips.

They also do not need special equipment or techniques like rolling, cutting, or frosting.

You can simply mix the ingredients in a bowl, form small balls of dough, put them onto a baking sheet, and bake them in the oven.

Make a big batch. I don't know anyone who can resist freshly baked cookies, so I always make sure I double the recipe or have a batch of dough in the freezer.

Great to make with kids. This recipe is great to make with small children. Not just because kids LOVE cookies but because it is also a fun and educational activity.

Let them gather the necessary tools and ingredients, such as mixing bowls, spoons, and measuring cups. If you use a kitchen scale, it is also a great opportunity to teach them how to use it by letting them weigh the ingredients!

Kids also love making a mess, and what could be more fun than transforming that mess into delicious cookies?

Ingredients

Flour - for this recipe, you will need all-purpose flour.

Sugar - I like to add brown sugar to my eggless chocolate chip cookies. Brown sugar contains molasses, giving the cookies an amazing golden color and a subtle caramel flavor.

Butter - I always use unsalted butter when in my recipes. This allows you to have more control over the flavor of your cookies.

If salted butter is all you have, you don't have to add additional salt to the recipe.

Baking powder - to make sure your cookies are nice and fluffy, you need to add a leavening agent. Baking powder is my go-to for the perfect cookies.

You can substitute the flour and baking powder for self-rising flour.

Milk - for the best result, I recommend using whole milk. The higher fat content adds to the soft, chewy texture.

You can, however, use any milk or even water to make these cookies.

However, if you want to make the cookies completely vegan, you can use plant-based milk like almond or coconut milk instead.

Variations

Chocolate chip cookies are very adaptable and customizable, as you can vary the type and amount of chocolate chips, add nuts or dried fruits, or use different types of flour or sugar.

• Nuts. Adding chopped nuts like almonds or hazelnuts gives the cookies a nice crunch.
• Dried or frozen fruit. If you love white chocolate chip and raspberry cookies you absolutely want to try adding fruit like strawberries or blueberries to the dough.
• White chocolate. Replace all or half of the dark chocolate chips with white chocolate and use all white sugar.
• Spices. I like to add warming spices like cinnamon or speculaas spice mix to the dough. The fall flavors make them the ultimate autumn treat and make your home smell amazing!

My tips for the perfect eggless cookies

Don't rush the process. Letting the butter come to temperature and creaming it with the sugar makes it much easier to incorporate the rest of the ingredients.

Never overmix the dough. Mix the dough just until everything is well incorporated. Too much mixing will make the flour form more gluten and result in tough cookies.

The perfect shape. Use a large round cookie cutter to give your cookies the perfect round shape while they are still hot.

How long do these cookies last?

You can store these eggless chocolate chip cookies at room temperature for about five days. Make sure to keep them in an airtight container to prevent them from going soft.

If you want to keep them longer, I recommend freezing them. Once frozen, you can store them in a ziplock bag for up to six months.

It is also possible to freeze the cookie dough. Make sure to take it out of the freezer and let it thaw completely before using it.
