🧾 Ingredient Notes

Eggless chocolate cookies ingredients in bowls with labels.

Unsalted Butter: Use softened, room-temperature butter. I always prefer to use unsalted butter in my baking. Just because I like the flavor of it better and I want to control the salt in my recipe. But you can use salted butter if you don’t have one
Sugar: Here light brown sugar is used along with a small quantity of regular white sugar. Brown sugar has more moisture than white sugar. So it gives moist cookies. When you measure light brown sugar, make sure to pack it lightly.
Cocoa powder: I have used regular unsweetened cocoa powder that is widely available in grocery stores.
Chocolate Chips: I have used white chocolate chips in these eggless chocolate cookies recipe. However, you could always add either semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark, milk or peanut butter chips!

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for at least 10 minutes.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Or prep 1 baking sheet only if you’re baking each batch separately.

13) Now scoop 1 ½ tablespoons size of the portion and place it on a prepared cookie tray. Place them a few inches apart so cookies have some room to expand.

14) Slightly flatten the cookie balls using your fingers or with the bottom of the glass.

15) Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes. The center looks soft but the edges have firmed up. Don’t worry cookies continue to cook as they cool.

16) Let the cookies cool down in the pan itself for 5 minutes and let the cookies firm up. Then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack using a spatula.

💭 Expert Tips For Eggless Chocolate Cookies

Room temperature butter: Make sure to use softened butter (not melted). Please do not use the microwave to soften the butter. It makes melty, greasy butter. Softened butter is easy to beat with sugar. So remove the butter at least an hour before from the refrigerator.
Chilling the dough: Chilling the dough for 30 minutes to a few hours will help the cookies maintain their shape, and not overly spread when cooked.
