Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe – The best cookie recipe made without eggs. You will not realize that it has no eggs in it. Trust me, you will fall in love with these cookies.
After having a bite of this cookie, you won’t realize that these are eggless. I have tried cookies with eggs, so I can say that these eggless cookies are same as egg one. I have tried many different ways but this recipe works just perfect and makes best homemade chocolate chip cookies.
These cookies are rich in flavors, crunchy from outside while soft and chewy from inside. If you want more crispy cookies than bake it for few more minutes.
If you like you can add some chopped nuts like pecans, walnuts, almonds. I have not added any because I want to enjoy the chocolate chip flavor only.
During this holiday or festive season, these eggless chocolate chip cookies must appear once in my home along with some other baked goodies. Because I and dear husband just love choco chip cookies.
As you know that chocolate chip cookies are America’s most favorite cookie. This eggless version of cookie is very easy to make that even baking beginners can also make this very successfully.
After marriage, eggless baking is my passion. And when it includes chocolate, it will be just heaven for me. Even I have incorporated it into Indian sweet chocolate peda. 🙂
In the pics above I have made half the recipe because it was only me and my husband. But the ingredients are mentioned for 16 cookies.

How to make Eggless Chocolate chip Cookies recipe (Step by Step Photos):
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degree F or 180 degree C for at least 10 minutes.
2) Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or just spray with nonstick spray.
3) Take dry ingredients (all purpose flour, salt and baking soda) in a bowl. Whisk it till they incorporated and keep it aside.
4) Take soften butter in another bowl.
5) Beat it with wire whisk or by electric mixer till it becomes creamy and smooth.
6) Then add both sugars (granulated and brown sugar).
7) Again beat till it becomes fluffy (about 2 minutes).
8) Then add vanilla extract and milk.
9) Whisk till it gets incorporated.
10) Add dry ingredients.
11) Beat it until incorporated.
12) Add chocolate chips.
13) And fold them in. If dough looks soft and sticky than chill it into refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
14) Now make 1 inch size balls from chilled cookie dough. Place on the cookie sheet few inches apart from each other, because they will spread as bake. UPDATE: Flatten is slightly using back of glass or bowl or use your fingers. many readers have problem that their cookies did not flatten while baking and stays mushroom like dome shaped. So they flattened the cookies slightly before baking and worked for them perfectly (see the discussion in comments below).
15) Bake them for 10-12 minutes in preheated oven or until the edges are become golden brown.
16) Let it cool into the sheet for 5 minutes. After that, remove it to the cooling rack to cool completely.
This is the best eggless chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted.
Shelf life: once cools completely, it can be kept at room temperature in airtight container up to one week.
You can freeze the cookie dough for later use. Simply make balls from the cookie dough on parchment lined baking sheet and put it in freezer. When they froze, put them in ziplock bag or airtight container. Keep them in freezer. Whenever you are ready to bake just place cookie ball on sheet and bake as directed (may be few more minutes).
Serving suggestion: Enjoy it anytime of the day with a glass of milk.

i have been allergic to eggs since birth and am a cook at heart and love to be in the kitchen. So as you can tell it is very hard for me to bake many things. your site is so useful. I also enjoy experimenting in the kitchen to see if I can make that food without egg so I can eat it like pancakes.
Kanan
happy to know that you found it helpful.
Riddhi
Can brown sugar be replaced with sugar and still have the same taste n crisp. As I don’t want to use brown sugar. Or is there any other suggestions that I might use.
Kanan
if regular sugar is used then it sure tastes slightly different. Cookies will be less chewy.
You can use regular white sugar and it will still taste good. But texture is slightly different
Katelyn
These are incredible!
I used them fro my Christmas M&M chocolate chunk cookies and they turned out beautifully.
The base mixture is so nice I ended up making another batch , leaving out the chocolate chunks and adding 1 1/2 tbsp of peanut butter. This resulted in a perfect peanut butter blossom!
This will now be my go to eggless cookie mix , thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Kanan
clever idea of using this cookie dough as a base.
I like your idea of adding peanut butter
Charity
Wow! These are delicious. My first eggless cookie and I am extremely pleased. Super easy to make and will definitely be making a second batch very soon. Thank you.
Kanan
very happy to hear that you liked.
Kayce Brown
I added mint and chocolate chips to it and it’s really delicious! It’s very true that it looks soft when you pull it out. It hardens right up once it gets away from the heat
Kanan
nice addition of mint
Erin G
Would this recipe work with earth balance, trying to make dairy free? Thanks
Kanan
you can try.
Sarah
Turned out great!
Kanan
yayy!!!
Gina
Lovely cookies, I made half the amount and they were great. It’s hard to know when to take them out of the oven because you have to factor in that they will firm up a lot during cooling, so I overdid mine a bit but they were still delicious!!
Kanan
When it comes out from the oven it will still look too soft. But as it cools it will firm up more.
But you are right, these cookies taste good even if it is over baked and crispy.
Christy
These turned out perfect!! I didn’t change a thing. You’d never know it’s egg free. So good!

Very glad to hear that it came out perfect.

CAn I use wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and keep rest of the ingredients same?
Kanan
You can give it a try. I have never tried
Shilpa Patil Vishwasrao
Can we make it in different shapes?
Kanan
Since this is drop cookies recipe, we can’t make shapes.
You can change the shapes for cutout cookies e.g chocolate sugar cookies, gingerbread men cookies

Hello, I asked this question for another recipe… Can I use dairy free milk instead of cows milk? My son is allergic to dairy, I can’t add nut milks either as he is allergic to nuts too!
Thank you
Kanan
yes you can use any vegan milk for this cookies recipe
Snuxbrio
These Cookies are A++ approved by my 11 year old and Delicious! He has an egg allergy and has been limited to many things! Follow the recipe exactly the way it is and you will not be disappointed. Thank you, looking forward to more recipes.

Hi Kanan,
This recipe looks fabulous! I am planning on making the cookies for my mom’s birthday because she can’t eat eggs! I had a quick question, though. I was wondering how the baking time and temperature would differ if I were to bake it as a pizookie (pizza cookie) in a 9 inch x 9 inch metal pan.
Kanan
baking temperature will be same. Only baking will be more. Bake for 15-18 minutes and the check if needed more time.
Eknoor
First time making cookies since we don’t eat egg but these were delicious!! My whole fam loved them!
Kanan

Thank you for the feedback
Sierra
Thanks for the great recipe! I ran out of eggs but I still wanted something sweet. I followed your recipe as written but just added a splash more of milk because the batter seemed a little dry and used einkorn flour. The cookies came out great! My family loved it!
Kanan
happy to hear that everyone loved it.
Thank you for the detailed review.

Chris'Mrs.
These cookies ( and many of your recipes) have changed the way we function. My son cant eat egg, oats or potato and for the longest time I tried and failed to make baked goods without eggs for my children. After 3 years of failing at eggless birthday cakes and cookies and brownies I found your website and every single thing I have made has been wonderful. Thank you for coming up with wonderful tasty recipie that work!
Kanan
Very glad to know that recipes are helpful to you.
Happy baking !!!
Pankhuri
We tried the recipe.. Everything was great except the cookies were hard.. What could have gone wrong
Kanan
Over baking can make it hard.
Next time remove it few minutes early
Kathy Tyk
We were all craving chocolate chip cookies but were out of eggs. I really doubted they could be made without eggs but I thought I would look up a recipe and see. Found your recipe and made them tonight. They turned out great! As you said…you could never tell they were made without eggs. Delicious. Thank you.
Kanan
Thank you Kathy for the review.
Glad to know that cookies turned out good.

Hi
Can I substitute the wheats flour with gluten free flour briar to multiple food allergy?

I have never tried with gluten free flour.
You can try small amount and see if it works or not

Sheenam
Wow! These cookies look amazing and so good that they are eggless!!!
Pam Hema
I followed this recipe perfectly..it tasted great but crumbles when you pick it up even after the cooling time…I was planning on giving them as gifts, but I just ended up wasting a lot of ingredients 🙁
Kanan
Sorry for the fail. I have never faced this issue, so not sure what is the problem.
Vidhi
Awesome cookies. They turned out well.
Can you tell me how someone can bake them if they have no oven.
Kanan
Oven is required to bake the cookies.
Nicolas
The person could build a solar oven using a pizza boxand regular household items.
The person could also use a hot car engine.
If the person does not have an oven, maybe making eggless chocolate chip cookies should not be the priority
Paromita Nath
Hi can I use ripe bananas in this recipe… How do I do it? Please advice
Kanan
Have never tried with banana. So not sure.
Shivangini
Hii! I wanted to know how I can substitute the brown sugar. I hope i can do that 🙁
Please help!
Kanan
use the same amount of regular white sugar instead of brown sugar.
Foram
Loved the recipe.. it’s yummmmmmy.. My family loved it and my daughter wants it again and again
Kanan
Glad to hear it.
Prabha
Hi
Thanks for the receipe!The cookies came out great! I have a few questions though. I have an OTG. I baked in the centre tray and kept the knob position at “lower rod on only”.Baked for 15 min at 180, the cookies had not baked.. I then increased the temp and turned the knob to “both rods and fan on” and then baked again for 15 min.. After which the cookies had a golden hue and were properly baked.
My query was which position should the knob be kept for cookies,cakes,muffins etc. Can you help me with that?
Thanks in advance.
Kanan
I am not sure how OTG ovens work. Please check your oven manual.
As per my knowledge, fan should be on for baking so it maintains the temperature everywhere. Not sure about the rod.
samiksha singhal
Hi! It’s necessary for the knob to be on both rods and fan for the heat will be evenly distributed and your product will be baked evenly. You can use this setting for savoury items too! Hope this helps.
Kanan
Thank you Samiksha for the help.
Emily
These work out perfectly every time I make them and it’s my go to cookie recipe with an egg allergy jm the house!
Kanan
Good to hear that. Thank you for the feedback
Melissa
I tried this recipe for the first time. The taste was great, the texture was not. My cookies came out very flat, crisp and crumbly (like you can’t even pick a whole cookie up without it falling a part). What did I do wrong?! Not cold enough? Incorrect amount of a certain ingredient? Any thoughts? I’ll have to try again.
Thanks!
Kanan
that is strange. I have never faced the issue of being crumbly cookies.
If dough is not chilled properly then cookies will spread a lot and becomes flat but not crumbly.
did you substitute any ingredient or did you do any step differently than mentioned?
MILI
Wow! Nice recipe .. thank you 😁 I was wondering if the sugars need to be finely crushed in a mixer before adding ..
Kanan
if the granules are tiny then no need to grind. if it has bigger granules then you can grind and use. But it does not have to be finely crushed, coarse should work too.
Sammi
When you are craving some chocolate chip cookies and don’t have any eggs in the house plus you want to enjoy a lil cookie dough on the side this is the recipe you are looking for! 🙂
Kanan
Glad to know you liked these cookies
Reema
Hello,
I tried this recipe. Followed all the instructions given in the recipe. Pre heated the oven for 180 degrees n then baked and then placed the dough in the oven. Cookies flatten like you said but the centre of the cookies started turning black😣😣😣 within two minutes. Could you please suggest where I went wrong for the cookies got burnt😣😣😣
Kanan
2 minutes is very short period of time. It should never get black within this short time.
Please check your oven temperature with oven thermometer. There must be something wrong in the temperature.
Sandra
The family and I wanted a dessert, so I thought~how about making one kick butt cookie and make ice cream sandwiches. I was distraught to see that not only is it late to go shopping for eggs!! Then I decided to run a separate search on baking cookies without eggs~and “Voila!” There I found this amazing soft perfect chocolate chip recipe. I didn’t freeze the cookie batter for 30 minutes, instead, I rolled out the wax paper on the cookie sheet, and used the rolling pin to spread out on large cookie sheet and baked until it was golden, I used the spatula to cut into desired slices and let it cool down~of course leaving it slightly warm to melt some ice cream. I’ll be going shopping tomorrow to purchase hard shelled chocolate and Reese chocolate shell, and let freeze for 30 minutes (or less)~for one heck of a frozen dessert! Enjoy!! Bon appetit! Guten appetit;)
Kanan
Thank you for detailed feedback.
I love the idea of making ice cream sandwiches.
Sayanee Engineer
These cookies are up the hook. I am a very young baker, only 13. But i bake things fairly good and my friends, family and me have completely and totally fallen in love with these cookies!! These were the first time i tried my hand at cookies and the recipe a was sincerely easy to follow. I love love love this recipe!! I even tried your double chocolate cookie recipe and loved it!!☺
Kanan
Glad to know that cookies came out good.
Mariin
I don’t eat butter, can I use sunflower oil instead?
Kanan
Not sure with oil, I have never tried it.
But one of our readers had tried with oil and she gave feedback here. Please find Priyanka’s comment below
Sandra
I’d like to recommend using coconut oil or olive oil. The choice is always up to the baker of course. 😉
Em
Best chocolate chip cookie ever! Nice and soft
Will be doubling the recipe next time !!!
Kanan
Glad to hear that you liked.
Tera
I made this recipe and they turned out soo good! Although I didn’t have a few things, so I used what I had. Instead of light brown sugar, I used brown sugar. I used Florida Crystal’s cane sugar instead of white sugar and I also used almond milk. They came out with a nutty flavor, and taste almost like the Famous Amous cookies with the pecans in them.
Tera

Kanan
Thank you for the detailed review. Happy to know that cookies came out good,
Harshi
Hi
How long do you beat the butter for with an electronic mixer? Also do you use packed brown sugar?
Looking for to your reply ☺
Kanan
around 2-3 minutes or till the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Brown sugar should be lightly packed.
aastha
Is vanilla extract and essence the same thing?
Kanan
extract is made from real vanilla pods. While essence is artificial made with chemicals.
You can use any, but I prefer the extract because it is real and gives better flavor.
jennifer nguyen
These cookies are AWESOME!!! my son is allergic to eggs and finally i found a good chocolate chip cookie that tastes good for all of us!! thank you!!

PJ
Hi,
i dont have an oven.i have a microwave. please give me instructions for the same?
Kanan
If your microwave has Convection mode or baking mode. Then you can bake.
If yours is just microwave then you cannot.
PJ
Hey, thanks i just saw it has convection mode. but it has a maximum limit of 240 degrees. will that work if i keep for a longer period of time?
Kanan
Please check, That max temperature is 240 degree Celsius.
I have given two different unit measurements 350 degree Fahrenheit or 180 degree Celcius (so it is easy for Indian and US audience both)
You have to preheat to 180 degree C for 10 minutes. Then bake as mentioned in recipe instructions.
pj
I feel so silly. I checked right after I submitted this query that it’s Celsius.
Anyways, my first batch was a total disaster coz they were burnt, even though I followed the recipe as it is. The second batch I put in fr 5 mnts instead of 10, still they were burnt n stuck to the butter paper. Can you put a finger on what went wrong?
Kanan
I guess you should follow your oven’s user manual for how to operate that.
It is burned in just 5 minutes, meaning you have not anything wrong in the recipe. it is just the oven behaving differently, please check.
FYI, always keep the tray in the center rack of the oven (not bottom or not top) for even cooking
rme
If the cookies burn after only 5 minutes, try lowering the oven temperature to 160°C. If it is very warm where you live, chilling the dough for 2 hours might also help.
Every oven behaves differently; your oven may actually be hotter than 180°C, or there might be one spot that’s very hot while everywhere else is normal. You sometimes have to try a few times to understand how the oven works.
Kanan
Thank you for your tips and helping others.

I made 6 mini cookies out of ¼ recipe and baked in a toaster oven. Oven was preheated to 350°F, then dropped to around 315°-325°F when the cookies went in to bake (temp is controlled by a dial, so it isn’t precise). The lower temperature gave the dough time to spread and bake more evenly since mini sizes overbake easily. After about 14 minutes, I had tasty cookies that were slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were still pretty good the next day.
I also changed it up for a banana-oat-chocolate-chip version. I used half whole wheat flour and half toasted oat flour, increased the total amount of flour to 1¼ cups, reduced the white sugar by 25%, and replaced the milk with a very ripe, smallish banana (120 g without the peel). The resulting cookies had crispy edges with a cake-like texture in the middle. The crispiness disappeared next day and I was left with soft cookies.
The dough was very soft and sticky before chilling, and was still a bit soft after 2 hours in the refrigerator. I shaped the dough into two batches of mini cookies. The first batch was baked at 325°F and they came out a bit flat. The second batch was chilled for another hour before baking at 350°F, and these came out domed and very cakey.
Note for next time: chill dough until firm enough, form cookies, chill again for 30 minutes, bake at 325°F. (Basically what I did with the original chocolate chip version.)
My current favourite recipe uses eggs and this does not replace it, but this is a great small batch alternative to satisfy a craving. It’s also perfect for my egg-allergic niece.
Kanan
Thank you so much for detailed review. This will help many others.
Glad to know that recipe was helpful to you and you got success with few alternatives.
Vaishali Gajjar
Hi,

Thank u in advance.
Kanan

aqua
I tried this first time it was a flop 2nd time was kind of ok 3rd time i followed your exact receipe and seem to be good.i tried baking cakes muffins cookies they always burn the base and uncooked in middle maybe its the oven doing all this hence i reduced the oven temp to 290-300 and baked for 10mins and removed immediately as cookie gets crunchy once cooled.thank you for the recipe and yeah this is my first reply ever in the whole internet world.
Kanan
Glad to know that you got success finally. Thank you for the review

Hi, I’d like to try this recipe but make a cookie cake instead of individual cookies. Do you know know how long I should be bake for if making one giant cookie?
Kanan
Not sure. Never baked as a giant cookie.

I am trying to limit (and eventually omit) animal products from our grocery list, especially chicken/egg products since they are killed and tortured in the highest quantities. These cookies are good enough to stand up to any “real/normal” chocolate chip cookie! They are my family’s favourite cookies and I think I’ve made them three times since discovering the recipe last week haha. I made them exactly as your wrote the first time – they were phenomenal. The next two times I made them with almond milk and vegan margarine instead of cow’s milk and butter, and I used dark chocolate chunks (just a chopped high-quality chocolate bar) instead of chips. I don’t know how it was possible, but they were even better! (?! Might’ve been the dark, non-dairy chocolate, which I am crazy about, and an extra sprinkle of sea salt, as one reviewer advised). I am not a cookie fiend, but I could put away 6 or 7 of these EASILY if left to my own devices! Thank you for such a great recipe, I will always use this one from now on 🙂
Kanan
Thank you for the detailed and constructive review. This may help others if someone wants to make it vegan.
Glad that you enjoyed.
Lea
Was out of eggs but needed cookies. This did the trick and is so good, it is now my preferred cookie even if I am not out of eggs! I love the texture which is more tender and less cake-like than some cookies. Excellent as is, but even better with a light sprinkle of Himalayan salt on top before baking.
Kanan
Great to hear this.
Thank you for the feedback.
Amirah
I had a huge chocolate chip cookie craving but I didn’t have any eggs. This recipe was excellent. I’m making another batch tomorrow because the batch I made tonight isn’t going to last long. Thank you for this recipe. Delicious!
Kanan
glad to hear that cookies came out good.
Happy Baking!!
LindaL
Good recipe in a pinch, especially since I was out of eggs and no time to run out. This recipe has a very deep and rich butter taste, reminds me of Dutch butter cookies with chocolate chips, not exactly the chocolate chip cookie taste we are used to but a good substitute. Followed the recipe as written but only refrigerated for 10 minutes, they baked up perfectly with the right amount of spread. Thank you for saving my Valentine’s Day, hubby is a Cookie Monster! 😁
Kanan
Thank you for your detailed feedback. Glad that cookies came out good.
Fi
I had to send cookies to my kid’s school and realized I had no eggs. These are as good as my regular recipe, you really can’t tell the difference. As with my regular recipe however I baked for 10 min then turned the baking sheet around and baked for another 10 min. i also made one badge of douvle chocolate by adding 4 tbs cocoa powder. Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Do let them cool for a few minutes before taking them off the tray.
Kanan
Thank you for your constructive feedback.
Good to know that recipe also works with addition of cocoa powder.
Prisha
Great recipe ..can I replace butter with Indian butter (ghee)
Kanan
Not sure. I have never tried with ghee
Jo october
What is Indian butter
Kanan
There is no word like Indian Butter.
Prisha meant ghee (clarified butter)
Sweta
Hi Kanan
The recipe is delicious..just that my cookies dint spread as much..i followed your exact recipe..i even pressed the cookies a bit before baking..and also refrigerated for around 40mins..wat can we do so that it spreads like your cookies in the pictures..thank you again for sharing this recipe😊
Kanan
Try chilling for less time.
If the dough is too chilled then it will not spread much
Sarah B
Absolutely delicious recipe! Could not tell was eggless, no doubt best recipe for it! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Kanan
Thank you Sarah for your kind words.
Matt
I needed an egg-free and dairy-free cookie recipe for my wife’s birthday. I found this recipe, ommitted the milk, and the cookies still came out amazing! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Kanan
Happy to know that cookies came out amazing. Thank you for the feedback
Kinnari
Thank you for eggless cookie recipe! I tried making them but only thing is mine became flat. I did not even press them. Couple of things I forgot like beating the butter and sugar well and putting the dough in the fridge to chill. Can you help me figure out the problem? But the taste was good!
Kanan
You need to chill the dough in fridge.
Once chilled cookies will not spread much while baking.
Amrita
Hi,
I have been making this cookie for a few months now and it has been a hit with my 3 year old, and my entire family! I have substituted all purpose flour in the original recipe with 1 cup of whole wheat flour used to make roti, and the taste is awesome. Thank you for this simple and tasty recipe.
Kanan
Good to know that it came out good with whole wheat flour. Thank you for your constructive feedback
Irene
Delicious! I didn’t have vanilla or chocolate chips so I substituted with almond extract and butterscotch chips. Soooo yummy!
Kanan
Good to know this. I love the addition of butterscotch chips

Kanan
Thank you so much Niyati for your feedback.
Jyoti
Loved this recipe. Thank you so much! The cookies turned out the best I ever made. Kids loved it.
Kanan
Very happy to hear that.
Shravya
Hey… I’m baking eggless cookie for the first time…not sure about the temperature and mode of the oven.. Please help
Kanan
baking temperature is already mentioned in the recipe.
For baking purpose, set the oven to the convection mode. For more details check your oven’s manual since every oven is different
Elena Mihailou
Hello, If I don’t have light brown sugar what can I use? Thank you,
Kanan
replace with same amount of regular white sugar
Niyati
I just made a batch and they turned out absolutely beautiful!!
Soft and gooey yet crispy..
Thank you for the great recipe..
I’ll definitely be making more of these soon!!
Kanan
Glad to hear that cookies came out good.
Shivangini
Hey.
Are the sugar granuals supposes to melt in the dough? Because my did’nt 🙁
Kanan
We are beating butter and sugar till it is smooth. Beating process is important.
Mita
Hi. This recipe looks awesome and I am eager to try it. Can I make it into mini cookies. If so what adjustments will I need to make re ingredients and cooking time?
Kanan
Sure you can make in mimi cookies.
Baking temperature will be same but baking time will be less (can’t say the exact, you have to try and experiment)
Mita
Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it. I forgot to ask if I could substitute butter with margarine as hubby does not like butter in anything. A similar question for substituting in cakes as well. Thanks for your time.
Kanan
In this cookie recipe yes you can use margarine.
There is no universal substitute. In some recipes it works and in some it doesn’t. If you are looking for substitution in any particular cake recipe then let me which one then I can comment.
Randi
Good for when you run out of eggs ?
Kanan
yes it is. 🙂
Ashley Maharaj
I recently discovered this recipe, and I’ve made it for the second time today! Amazing results each time! I love this recipe 🙂
Kanan
Good to know. 🙂
Dianne
Great recipe! Although a bit dry, I would suggest adding another table spoon of milk.
Thanks!
Kanan
Thank you for the feedback
CJ
Thank you for this recipe. Looking forward to try this for my kids!!
Kanan

Shruti
Is it necessary to use granulated sugar if yes how to make this at home ?
Kanan
granulated sugar is same as regular white sugar
Shruti
Hey kanan! Thanks for sharing such a delicious recipe. I made this and it turned out great. Thanks again.
Kanan
glad to know that it came out good
Rosalin
If I want to incorporate coffee to the recipe, how do I do? What quantity should I take?
Kanan
in 2 tablespoons of milk you can dissolve a teaspoon of instant coffee or instant espresso powder.
Rosalin
Hey Kanan. Sorry for giving feedback so late. The cookies turned out to be the most delicious chocolate chip cookies I ever had. Thanks a lot for sharing such a perfect recipe
Kanan
Glad to hear that cookies came out good. Thank you for the feedback.
Michelle
May i know what type of milk I should use? This will be my fairest time baking cookies and I’m really excited!
Michelle
Oh and is it really necessary to use milk? Cuz I’m actually going for something vegan and I’m just unsure of what milk to add
Kanan
You can use water instead or any dairy free milk
Olya
Can I use almond milk instead of milk?
Kanan
yes you can
Carly
I usually always use eggs, but I didn’t have eggs and I really wanted to bake; so naturally I looked up a recipe without eggs. Oh my gosh, these cookies taste better than the ones with eggs. There’s something about them, they’re just softer and nicer to eat! Will definitely be using this recipe from now on instead of the one I used to use! 10/10 recommend!
Kanan
Thank Carly for your positive feedback.
Very glad to know that you liked
poonam
thanks for quick reply ,will make
and let u know how it turned
Kanan
Sure. Hope you enjoy
poonam
can i use indian granulated sugar, because its not fine like US granulated sugar
Kanan
yes you can. Both are same. Only difference is Indian sugar has bigger granules while in USA it has smaller granules.
For making cookies or cakes, we are creaming the butter and sugar till sugar is incorporated and mix completely. This process will be easy if the sugar has small granules. Bigger granules will take more whisking and arm exercise. So for that, you can grind the sugar lightly in the grinder.
Shantelle
Could I use coconut oil instead of butter?
Kanan
I have never tried it.
But many readers have tried it and worked for them.
You can read the review below
Maddi
Can you use somthing like granola instead of chocolate chips?
Kanan
I think yes you can

Kanan
I like the idea of adding cinnamon powder.
Kumkum Nema

Erin
These were great for a quick cookie fix!! I was craving cookies and had no eggs!!! I wouldn’t call these my favorite, but they definitely fixed my craving! Plus, they were super easy to make! I cooked mine a little longer than 10 min (more about 15) They were soft and warm in the middle. Yuuuum! Thanks for the recipe!
Kanan
Glad to know that you find this recipe helpful
Tracy Mckinney
I just made these with the 6 kids I look after,They loved them,And they turned out perfectly.We added chocolate and butterscotch chips, And scor chip. I just flattened the balls a bit with the palm of my hand,They spread out perfectly.The kids loved that they were able to eat the batter of the beaters,I will definitely make these again!!
Kanan
Thank you Tracy for your detailed feedback.
Glad to know that cookies came out good.
Kelly
I made these today, though I only had white chocolate so I added a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg to complement it. Such a great eggless cookie! I will be adapting this recipe a thousand ways for my egg-allergic child.
Kanan
glad to know that cookies came out good.
That is true we can make many different variation with this cookie dough
Praharshita
Hi!
my cookies came out tasting absolutely great, but they never spread? I read your tip on flattening, so flatten them out a. it but even after baking they stay the same. I’m quite scared to put them in balls because of that. can you help me out on what to do?
Kanan
Hmm, I can think of only one other reason. if the dough is too chilled then cookies may not spread while baking.
Tiffany Duguay
Dough is chilling in the oven now- can’t wait. Thank you =)
Katie
These cookies are absolutely AMAZING. I was skeptical of the recipe without eggs but they turn out so good. I used a dark chocolate candy bar that I chopped up instead of chocolate chips, just for fun :). Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, great job!
Kanan
Glad to know that cookies came out good.

VSand
Hi Kanan,
I am so glad I found this recipe, it looks great! I was wondering if using salted butter would make a difference other than flavoring?
Kanan
Yes you can use salted butter and skip the salt in the recipe.
Not much difference in the flavor, it will be good.
I always use unsalted butter because I want to control the salt intake in the recipe.
Sal
Wow Superb Cookies… We used to taste cookies Made with Eggs too, But I wish to give eggless cookies to my Son’s friend , I tried this Recipe..
Delicious..
Thanks a lot for the simple and tasty Recipe…
Kanan
Glad to know you liked these cookies
Hiral
Hi kanan…can i replace brown sugar with the granulated one only
Kanan
yes you can.
Use same amount of white sugar instead of brown
Emilie
Absolutely delicious! I always have my doubts going into an eggless recipe, but this one surpassed my expectations! Thanks a ton!!!
Kanan
Glad to hear this.
Thank you for writing back to us.
DEEPTI
HI KANAN,
YOUR RECIPE IS AWESOME,,,,,SIMPLY DELICIOUS.MY SON AND HIS FRIENDS RELISHED THEM.
I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD REPLACE BUTTER WITH OIL..CAN YOU ADVICE.
THANKS,
DEEPTI
Kanan
Not sure, I have never made these cookies with oil.
I think it is not good idea. The dough will be soft. if we chill it, still it won’t get non-sticky or stiff because of oil. Butter will get slightly harden after chilling, not possible with oil.
Jaishree
It came out just perfect!! Thank you loads
Kanan
Thank you.
Sarah
Made these last week and everyone in my household loved them. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
Kanan
Good to hear that everyone liked it
Kristy
I didn’t have any eggs or means to get eggs myself so I was ecstatic when I came across this recipe.
I’m not an expert in baking in any way, but the batter seemed really sticky, so I thought maybe adding more flour would help make it stick less but it didn’t.
I probably added too much or too little of an ingredient, but nonetheless they came out tasting wonderful.
Thanks for posting this amazing recipe, and do you think you have any idea as to why the batter was so sticky?
Kanan
If the butter is too soft then batter may get sticky.
Once you let the cookie dough chill in the fridge it should be fine.
Dominique
I tried them, and sorry but I don’t like them. Very disappointed.
Kanan
sorry for your fail.
Ben
Well, I thought they were delicious, thank you ever so much.
Poonam
Hi
I made these with whole wheat flr
it came out so nice.
Can these stay good more than a
week?
Kanan
Not sure, never kept more than a week.
Anshita
Hi! I tried these with all purpose flour and they were delicious.
Can you suggest what changes in the measurements I should make if I want to use whole wheat flour instead?
Thanks!
Kanan
Use the same amount of whole wheat flour instead all purpose.
You may need to add little extra milk to get the right dough.
Lori
I am in tears! These cookies smell, taste, and look just like the traditional chocolate chip cookie!!For anyone with multiple food allergies like me, this is a true delight. I urge you all to try it out!
In my version, I used a rounded 1/4 cup of Earth Ballance spread instead of butter. (Still added salt) I also used rice milk instead of regular milk. Oh, and I love how a little extra vanilla will hide the taste of the Earth Ballance when baking.
My iPad isn’t working right….I give this 5 stars all the way!
Kanan
Thank you Lori for detailed feedback.
Happy to know cookies came out good.
DV
HI,
These cookies came out FANTASTIC,,my son loved them .I mixed half whole wheat flour and half maida and they were lovely.

Jill Rosenberger
I love your recipes. Would you happen to have an eggless sugar cookie recipe?
Kanan
I have eggless chocolate sugar cookies recipe posted – https://www.spiceupthecurry.com/eggless-chocolate-sugar-cookies-recipe/
Dodo S.
I made these 3 times already and doubled the recipe and they’re deliciously chewy every time. For the chocolate chips, I like to do half white/half normal chocolate chips (semi-sweet). Eggs are not necessary to make delicious cookies! Thanks you for this recipe!
Kanan
Thank you for constructive feedback. Glad to know you liked these cookies
Kristen Manza
I am thinking of using this recipe for a MASSIVE sale I have to do. Can this recipe easily be doubled/tripled..maybe even 4-5x?
Thanks
Kanan
yes you can, it will be fine,
Manasi
It’s awesome. I tried it 3 times. Thanks for sharing easy & tasty receipe. I used 2 t spoon coco powder. It’s taste like bourbon. Please add this tip if possible
Kanan
Oh wow. I must try that because I love bourbon.
Manasi
Thanks for consideration of my suggestion. Have you tried it?
Kanan
Not yet, will try it soon
Ella
Hi there! Is it okay to substitute milk with buttermilk?
Kanan
Never tried. But I think yes you can use buttermilk.
Elle
Just baked these as I was craving cookies all day! Didn’t have choc chips in the pantry but I did have mini M&Ms…so satisfied! Possibly the best batch of cookies I’ve ever made 🙂
Kanan
Thank you Elle for positive review.
Glad to hear that cookies came out good.
r
These cookies were horrible! I can’t believe you all liked them!
Kanan
Sorry for your fail. But this recipe works for me all the time.
Krsnavalli
Hi! I have made these a bunch of times and they are always delicious but for some reason, my cookies always end up extremely flat, making them thin and crispy (which is also really good actually) but do you have any idea what I may be doing wrong? Or what I would need to adjust?
Kanan
Cookies will spread a lot if the dough is not chilled properly in the fridge.
Krsnavalli
I chilled them for a couple of hours rather than 30 mins and they turned out amazing!
Kanan
Good to know that. Thanks for the feedback,
Rebecca
The type of milk being used may be an issue…i tried baking several times with coconut milk and baking didn’t turn out properly…(flat/uncooked) switched to cow milk and all was well.
Radhika
Hi Kanan,
I tried the recipe with a slight variation. I used whole wheat four and maida 50:50. Though the cookies came out quite nice it left a kind of slight bitter after taste of the soda. Just wanted to know why?
Kanan
something must be wrong. I never taste the soda in these cookies.
Have you added right amount of baking soda which is 1/2 teaspoon only?
Or is your baking soda expired or old?
Amy
These are delicious! I made these for my son’s preschool class birthday celebration. I had to make more because my husband and son ate them all before I could take them to the preschool!! Never thought I would be able to find such great eggless chocolate chip cookies 🙂 So quick and easy too. Thank you!!!
Kanan
Nice to know that everyone liked these cookies.

Kanan
Good to know that wheat flour works for this recipe
Kathryn
The ‘No-Egg’ Chocolate chip cookies came out great! I did make a slight change by substituting the white all-purpose flour with Whole Wheat flour.My husband and kids fell in love with them. This recipe is amazing and will be the only one I will ever use to make chocolate chip cookies in the future!
Kanan
Glad to know that recipe works with whole wheat flour.
Thank you for the positive review.

Lali
I just made it and it turned out great! I read the recipe slightly wrong and added baking powder (1/2 tsp) instead of baking soda (1/2 tsp). In my opinion, the texture still seems quite fine to me. Its crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Is that expected? 🙂
Kanan
Yes, these cookies are crispy on edges and chewy from the center.
manisha
Yummy cookies easy to make
Kanan
Thank you
San
Hi Kannan…. thank you very much for this recipe, I have made cookies for 3 times now with your recipe, they turned out awesomely great each time. I made variations of how long I baked, so they turned out softer & crispier as well :). Am gonna save this recipe for lifetime 🙂

Not to be a negative Nancy or anything but this recipe led me to make pancakes… Like legitimate pancakes, haha. They came out of the oven as little pancakes, would recommend, although they don’t go so well with milk…
Kanan
No worries, All kind of feedback is accepted here.
Not sure, how did you get pancake kind. !!!

eggless chocolate chip cookies – I would like to add oatmeal – what proportion and how much less flour. Thanks
Kanan
not sure. I have never tried with oatmeal.
I guess, you have to give it a try and see.
Lilly
Hi! Wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing. Best eggless cookies! (I dont eat eggs)
I tried it, and my cookies were a bit crumbly. Can you please help me troubleshoot?
Thanks!
Kanan
Not sure why it is crumbly, I have never faced this problem.
Can you please elaborate? If you have made any changes or reduce/increase any ingredient quantity.
Charli
I’d recommend adding a bit more milk; it sounds like your mixture was too dry. It’s a common problem with egg-free recipes, so some use banana or something as a substitute binding agent.
Kanan
Thank you for your suggestion. It will sure help others
Cathy A
Just made these cookies and they were great. Followed recipe exactly except I did not flatten them, I left them in a ball and made exactly 16 cookies.

Made these just now, they turned out great, just not going to slightly press them down as was suggested! Mine flattened right out and I had to cut them apart! I’ll leave them in the round balls and let them do their thing with no help from me! All in all, they are delicious and I’ll definitely make them again!
Kanan
I never flattened them and I get the perfect shape. Nice to hear that cookies came out good.
Harley
Absolutely disgusting
Kanan
what’s the problem?
Kayla
The recipe can be doubled or tripled and you’ll still get the same effect and taste? I have to make more than 16 of them and I don’t want to compromise anything!
Kanan
yes you can. No worries, it will be fine.
LanieB
Thanks for the recipe. They turned out delicious.
I altered the recipe to fit my dietary needs.
I used Palm lard and coconut sugar and they turned out great.

Kay
It comes out good but I felt butter was bit more. It was sticking on my hand and cookie spread out. Didn’t keep the same shape.
Please suggest for less oily feeling
Kanan
as mentioned in the recipe, this cookies are rich and buttery. you can try with less amount of butter (start with about 1/3 cup).
It was sticking, meaning dough was not chilled well and that’s why cookies get spreaded while baking
Kay
Butter was sticking on my palms. I put dough in fridge not in freezer. I guess I have to chill dough in freezer. Is it correct?
Kanan
in the fridge, chill for few hours.
in the freezer, chill for about 30 minutes or so
Kay
Do I have to use brown sugar or I can use regular sugar?
Kanan
You can use regular white sugar instead
arainandagale
Delicious and beautiful! Thank you! (I flattened them before baking)

Loved your recipe! I’m only 13 and can make them easily and my family loves them!!
To make m&m cookies would you just add m&ms instead of chocolate chips?
Thx!
Kanan
Yes add m&m instead of chocolate chips.
For fancy look, make cookie balls, flatten it slightly and then arrange the m&m candy on it and then bake,

They were delicious.
I am looking forward to try more of such recipes from your site

Use same amount of whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. No other changes needed.

This recipe was great, I’m not into sweets but my boyfriend was complaining about not having any Christmas cookies! I need my chicken’s eggs for deviled eggs for my family for Christmas so I took to google and found you! Didn’t have any milk so subsituted yougurt, and didn’t have any chocolate chips so chopped up a Zagnut bar. He loves them! Thanks so much! Merry Christmas from Maine!

These cookies were great! My family’s friends came over, and they loved it! We wouldn’t have found your recipe if my sister didn’t say that she didn’t want eggs in our cookies! I may be a young age, but I can still bake 😀

These cookies were as good as the cookies made with eggs. I was out of eggs and wanted to share my 10 cup cookie recipe. I added 1/2 c raisins, 1/2 c pecans, 1/2 c coconut, 1/2 cup peanut butter along with 1/2 c choc chips.Oh so good! Turned out to be 1/2 cup cookie recipe. Thanks!
Kanan
awesome, that must be tasting good with all these goodies added.

Mika
Hi can I substitute maple syrup instead of vanilla extract? A relatives birthday is coming up and I would like to make the cookies then so a early response will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Kanan
you can use same amount of maple syrup, but that tiny amount of syrup will not give maple flavor to the cookies.
You can skip the vanilla extract, that is used for flavoring only.
Mika
Thank you so much. I will just skip the vanilla extract
bollopsie
i tried these and they were great!
Kanan
Nice to know
AnaC
So, I subbed almost everything in the recipe! The flour for gluten free pancake mix, both sugars for fructose, butter for coconut oil and milk for coconut milk… All this because I made then for my brother who’s allergic to gluten, dairy, margarine, and sugar, and of course egg! Well, more like egg yolk, anyways… It turned out delicious!!! They do NOT look like cookies though, the texture is just like angel cake, the cookie melts in your mouth, but in the most amazing possible way!! Also they’re very soft inside but in all honesty they’re awesome! Than you very much for the recipe!!!!!
AnaC
If someone wants to try it the way I made them just keep in mind they will NOT spread, you have to flatten them, and the size you leave them will be the exact same final size 🙂
Kanan
That will be helpful for many who are looking for substitution.
Thanks for the detailed feedback.
Vic Olson
THANK YOU!! Great recipe! Left them in the oven 14 minutes bec I thought they looked sift at 10 mins. Didn’t hurt them. They are crispy with just the right touch of chewy. We love them!
Kanan
Awesome. Good to know that recipe works for you
Lala
Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe! The cookies are so easy to make, chewy and delicious! I’ve been using your recipes for over a year now and my husband who is american approved it 🙂 Best wishes from Germany!

Nella
Amazing!
My first time doing eggless so I have nothing to compare it to.
I didn’t use chocolate chips, but rather raisins, coconut and cranberries.
I didn’t put the dough to chill either.
My bake time was 20 minutes and they were Delish!!!
Kanan
Good to know that cookies came out good.
Pallavi
hi there…my OTG is of 2900LTS. when I tried Choco chip cookies eggless… it burnt from the bottom… please guide whether I should reduce the temperature???
Kanan
Don’t know, you have to try and experiment.
I have been using gas range oven from beginning. have no experience about OTG.
Kate
This recipe was amazing! I doubled it and made a “gingerbread man” style cookie, putting all the dough onto one large cookie sheet. It came out perfectly! Nice soft middle, yummy crispy edges. Thanks for an awesome recipe! Will definitely make again 🙂

This recipe came out PERFECTLY at high altitude with no adjustments. It is the ONLY recipe I’ve ever had come out without adjustments. Chocolate chip cookies are the hardest cookie to make above 5k feet so I’m thrilled to have this!!! Thank you!!! I can’t believe how beautifully they cooked up!!
PS my rating is 5 stars but my phone isn’t accepting more than 2.
Kanan
Thank you for the feedback tammie.
I am surprised that no changes needed at high altitude. good to know that

Fabulous egg-free recipe. I loved the flavor of the dough. I had to make a couple modifications based on what I had in my fridge. I didn’t have regular milk, so I used my coconut milk creamer. And I was short 1 TBSP of butter, so I substituted 1 TBSP of solid coconut oil. I definitely wouldn’t do the whole recipe with coconut oil, bot it was fine to make up the missing tablespoon. Also, I used Nestle pumpkin spice chips. But I’ll make this recipe again the next time I want chocolate chip cookies. I just discovered your blog and so many of your curry recipes look good. I’ll try some of them eventually, as vegetarian curries and dals are some of my favorite things to eat.
Kanan
Glad to hear that recipe works for you.
Sure, do give other recipes try. Hope you like those as well.
Venus
Can I use condensed milk instead of regular milk?
Kanan
yes, you can
Sushmita
Thanks for sharing this recipe Kanan. I had been procrastinating for a long time on making some egg-less choco-chip cookies as I am a vegetarian and love to cook. Loved your recipe, tried this on Diwali and it was a treat! Everyone loved it! I just got butterscotch morsels yesterday, will add them too along with the chocolate morsels and see how they turn out. Thanks again for the wonderful recipe!
Sushmita
I used my baking experience and added 1 tablespoon of condensed milk for more bonding and fluffiness.
Kanan
That is great. Good to know that.
Kanan
Thank you Sushnita for the review. Glad to know that cookies came out good.
Yes butterscotch chips will be good addition.
Elissa
Hi. I have made these several times quite successfully; but I made them again, today and they turned out terribly. Did you change the amount of baking soda, because I am sure that’s what went wrong. They were super foamy in texture, and all that can be tasted is the flavor of baking soda. 2 Tablespoons of baking soda seems like too much.
Kanan
You have read it wrong.
All purpose flour (Maida) – 1 cup + 2 tablespoons
Baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon
Elissa
Doh!! Thank you for clarifying! I need to pay closer attention. This is one of my favorite recipes…very easy to make vegan.
Cody
I just stuck all the ingredients in one bowl and mixed them all together than stuck them in the fridge and they were
fine why do extra when you don’t have too
Kanan
That is great. Nice to know that this recipe works like this as well. Thanks for the feedback.
Hana
Hi,
I definitely want to try this recipe but any idea how many grams is 1 stick/1/2 cup of butter? I am from Europe and i have no idea how to measure it. Thanks a lot!
Kanan
1 stick or butter = 113 grams
Hana
Thank you very much!
Avnika
Hi Kanan,
I tried these cookies & they tasted fabulous. So thanks for sharing.
However I faced a problem – my cookies turned out pretty flat (I made 16 pieces) & very brittle. Plus it wasn’t crunchy as desired. Could you please guide me as to where I must have gone wrong?
TIA
Kanan
There could be only one reason I can think of – the dough is not chilled properly. If the dough is soft, then it will spread too much while baking. So cookies will become thin and flat
Avnika
Cool..thanks Kanan! Will take care of it cooking next time, but undoubtedly they tasted nice!! Thanks
Kanan
Ok. Nice to know that you liked the taste
bob
Can you replace light brown sugar with normal sugar
Kanan
Yes you can
maria
First time to bake home made chocolate chip cookies with my daughter. I chose this recipe because we like to nibble at the dough, and I didn’t want to have raw eggs in it. The cookies are delicious! In fact, I think I like them a bit better without the eggs! Thanks for this recipe!
Kanan
That is great. Nice to hear that you liked it.
Joe
Made these because i didn’t have any eggs. They turned out great! They do mushroom a bit, so be aware of that 🙂
Kanan
Nice to know that cookies came out good. Yes many faces the issue with dome shaped cookies. Hence I have updated the instructions.
Rash
Haven’t baked these yet.
Wanted to know if we could roll the dough and use cookie cutters for giving it a shape?
Also can we use half n half wheat flour and plain flour?
Am planning to bake these today. An early response would be appreciated.
Kanan
This recipe will not work as a cut out cookies as they will spread as you bake and they will not hold their shape.
Yes you can use half wheat and half plain flour.
Sunny
This recipe did not turn out great. The recipe calls for too much baking soda which gives the cookies a terrible taste. Sorry, i didnt like it.
Kanan
Sorry to hear 🙁
Cody
I doubt that you prbaly read it wrong
Nasha
Made these bc i was out of eggs and they were absolutely delicious! Great job- can’t wait to try your other recipes!
Kanan
Thank you. hope you like other recipes as well.
Janice
I made these with gluten free flour, margarine instead of butter, dairy free chocolate chips and almond milk for a gluten free/dairy free option. They were perfect! Will be making them many more times!
Kanan
Glad to know that you are able to make it vegan and gluten free with this recipe.
Thanks for the detailed feedback. It will help others who are allergic to gluten or dairy
Maddy
This was my first time baking anything on my own and I found this recipe very easy, my whole family loved them and so I will use this recipe again!! Thanks
Kanan
Congratulations on your first time success. 🙂 glad to hear that cookies came out good.
vincent
I tried these because i was out of eggs and a few co-workers don’t like eggs. I also used vanilla soy milk instead because that was all i had and they came out really great and it had a small hint of vanilla which was perfect everyone loved it. Thank you.
Kanan
Happy to know that everyone likes these cookies
Joan
Just made this. My daughter loves them. I added pecans and cranberry. Best part…my daughter could eat from the mix and lick the bowl. Definitely a save!
Kanan
like the addition of cranberries.
Nice to know that she loved it.
Megan
These turned out pretty good. I didn’t have any chocolate chips so I had to use peanut butter chips, so I added some cocoa powder. I’ll definitely be trying them again with chocolate. And pressing them down a little more.
Kanan
Awesome Megan. Nice to know recipe works for you
Shreya
Hey, can unflavoured Eno be used instead of baking soda??
Kanan
No you cannot. Both are totally different.
FYI, Eno has citric acid in it, which will ruin the taste of cookies
Tammy
These cookies were amazing. I used self rising flour instead of all purpose because it was all I had and the cookies turned out so good. I listened to the tip and flattened them a little bit with the back of my teaspoon. My husband and children all loved these cookies and could not believe that there were no eggs in it. These cookies were chewy and moist and they also look gorgeous. I will be making these again.
Kanan
awesome Tammy. Glad to know that cookies came out good and everybody enjoyed
Shreya
The cookies turned out quite well, however they were very crisp. I was hoping for more chewy cookies. Any tips for that?
Kanan
Bake it for 1-2 minutes less. It will be chewy.
As you bake the cookies longer, it will get crispier.
Anitha
Hi again! I just made another batch of cookies and it was, as you guessed, delicious! However I had a last minute change of mind and used some honey instead of a portion of sugar( I have no history of baking..that probably wasn’t the best of ideas). The cookies turned out real good. Tasted amazing but they were really soft. The texture wasn’t as perfect as before. How do I incorporate honey instead of sugar(or a portion of it)? Also can wheat flour be used along with all purpose flour instead of only all purpose flour? Thanks in advance for your time!
On a completely different note, I loved your kala channa and black eyed peas Gujarati recipes. My husband and I are nuts about the nutty flavor of the capsicum curry masala. You mentioned somewhere about the raw onion imparting a bitter taste. It helps if it is sautéed in a little oil before it is ground.
Absolutely love your recipes and nowadays instead of googling for recipes I just search for them on your site! 🙂
Kanan
Yes, if honey is substituted, cookies will have soft texture. Because honey is liquid while sugar is not.
Few years back, I have used honey in one my muffins recipe. But now I am not using honey in baking. Last year I was reading Ayurveda book, And I came to know that honey becomes toxic when it is heated up. One should always consume honey in raw form. Since then I use honey in smoothies and milkshakes only not in baking. If you want you can google it how to substitute honey for sugar.
Yes you can use whole wheat flour in any recipe. But the texture will slightly different. Baking goods made with all purpose flour is more lighter and softer. While made with whole wheat are dense and heavy.
Good to hear that you are enjoying the recipes. Thanks for the onion tip, it will be helpful.
Riah
I tried this recipe and it worked perfectly.. Now I found my cookie recipe I can recommend it for others to use. ;p
Kanan
Thank you Riah. Good to hear that
Raneeta
Never in a million years I thought I would have tried baking with no eggs. But I forgot the eggs is How I came to use this recipe. I simply love it. I have tried the muffin as well

Devanshi
I’ve added salt and realised I don’t have saltless butter, can I add salted butter then?
Kanan
Yes you can use salted butter, Skip the salt in the recipe. If you have added by mistake, no worries.
Brittany
These are incredible! I recently developed an allergy to eggs, amoung many other things, and these are my savior! To mine I added a big ol’ spoonful of coco powder for double chocolate cookies. Chocolate craving cured!! Thank you so much for this!
Kanan

Theses were quick and perfect!…..My mix was a little thin so they spread just a bit but they were just thin and crisp enough…I’m glad the milk was in the cookie cause they went before I could get a glass!…Great cookie…Thanks
Kanan
Nice to know that you enjoyed the cookies
Yesny Sandoval
Craving cookies but out of eggs, what a great sub with the milk instead… They came out great
Kanan
Awesome, nice to know that you liked cookies.
Arushi
Do you have to put vanilla extract in the choco chip cookies? Is it mandatory?
Kanan
it is not must. you can skip it
Hokanut
I had a craving for something sweat and found this on the web. I’m out of eggs and milk so this was perfect. Just pulled your cookies out of the oven. The only thing I changed was using 1/2&1/2 instead of milk because I’m out of milk. These are fantastic. I don’t bake but made these anyway. Following your instructions made it easy even for a 50 year old mechanic. The only problem is as I mentioned before, I’M OUT OF MILK! lol
Kanan
Lol. Half n half did the wonder for you
Madhumita
Perfect recipe! I baked cookies for the first time, and the output couldn’t have been any better. Thank you for suggesting using milk as a substitute for eggs. The cookies turned out great! Keep posting many more eggless baking recipes 😉
Kanan

Brooke Ballard
Hi. I made these cookiees for a class project with my mom and my class loved them. We followed all the steps and they came out perfectly. This made my mom want to make them just for a snack. I just wanted to tell you that I am a 12 year old girl that appreciates that you had helped me make great chocolate chip cookies from scratch that I loved making and everyone enjoyed it. Ecspecially my teachers. Thank you so much. From me and my mom. 🙂
Kanan
That is awesome. Glad to hear that you made these cookies and everybody enjoyed it
Guru Sundesh (12 years old btw)
I made these cookies but I melted the butter in the micro wave before adding it to the mixture. And I didn’t refrigerate for 30 mins instead I did for ~15 mins is that necessary? Cuz they turned out flat and were very crumbly thanks for the recipe!
Kanan
Thanks for the constructive feedback.
We are chilling the dough, so while we bake cookies, it do not spread out too much and cookies will hold their round shape
Mon
Can I substitute unsalted butter with salted butter? Or will it become too salty?
Kanan
You can use salted butter. It won’t be too salty.
If using salted butter, please skip the salt in recipe.
Karina
I have made these cookies three times now, and they have always turned out amazing! Milk chocolate chips work the best for me.
Kanan
Great Karina. nice to know that cookies came out good all the time.
Jeff
These cookies are amazing! The remind me a lot of McDonald’s cookies.
</Kanan
Thank you Jeff
