This eggless chocolate chip cookie recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks "The Joy of Vegan Baking". I didn't have non-dairy butter and non-dairy semi-sweet chocolate chips, so used regular butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Other than that I did not make any changes in the recipe. The cookies turned out awesome. Crisp around the edges and chewy in the center. Just perfect. If you want to bake eggless chocolate chip cookies, then this is the recipe you must have. This is one of the very first recipes I tried using Ener-G egg replacer as an egg substitute and the success of baking the best eggless chocolate chip cookies gave me confidence to bake egg-free and to also create many more recipes using Ener-G egg replacer.Since chocolate chip cookie recipes are the most favorite cookies among kids and grown-ups, getting it right especially egg free is definitely a very big deal. I have a lot of chocolate chip cookie recipe without eggs in the blog but this version has become my all-time favorite.This eggless chocolate chip cookie recipe is definitely a keeper! Freshly Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies

PS: Bake these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies if you are looking for a different variety of chocolate chip cookies.Update: The most frequently asked question in this recipe usually is "what can I use instead of Ener-G egg replacer?" I suggested flax eggs and also mentioned that the cookies won't be as crisp as the ones using Ener-G.It was just a guess based on my experience baking cookies with flax egg as an egg substitute. I have wanted to try it actually for long now and finally got to it last night.I followed the same procedure listed below but instead of using Ener-G egg replacer used flax eggs as egg substitute and add it to the creamed plant-based butter (Becel) and sugar mixture and beat it with a handheld beater. Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

The flax egg mixture foamed up so much just like how eggs would and I was pleasantly surprised! I also added an additional ¼ cup of chocolate chips this time.Another question I keep getting is, "how to avoid too much spreading of the cookies? or what to do if I get flat cookies?"Most of the time by just seeing the consistency of the cookie dough you can be pretty sure how the cookies will turn out when baked.This time when I set to bake another version of the best eggless chocolate chip cookies using flax eggs, the cookie dough was sticky and I was sure that if I bake it, I will end up having chocolate chip crepes and not cookies.I stored the dough in the fridge overnight and baked it the next day. You don't have to cool it for such a long time. Refrigerating the cookie dough for an hour or so is enough. Needless to say these eggless chocolate chip cookies with flax eggs was a huge hit just like the one made with Ener-G egg replacer. Recipe

  I haven't tried this recipe with other egg substitutes, but you can try it with flax egg or peanut butter probably.

  Where do you live, Mary? In North America, Whole Foods and other major grocery stores stock it up these days. It's not hard to find these days when compared to a decade ago.

I used flax meal mixed with water instead of the egg replacer and baked them for a little longer than recommended (about 13 minutes) and they turned out amazing!!!

The cookies turned out perfect , crisp on the out and chewy in the middle in spite of using flax seeds as egg replacer.

I used flax sub for 2 of the eggs. Then a oil/water/ mix for the last egg. No vanilla. 1/4 cup of dairy free butter. 3/4 cup of applesauce. Children ate them so fast and so did I we had to do it again in 2days. Soft and chewy. Baked for 12 min. Live at high altitude. After cooled for 15min the bottom was crispy and the rest was cake like. Wonderful. Thank you.
