    Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

    Butter

    Unsalted Butter is used in this cookies which makes the cookies crispier and hold its texture properly.

    Brown Sugar 

    Brown sugar gives the cookies a caramel taste to it and it provides the necessary chewiness to the cookies.

    Yogurt 

    Yogurt is what used as egg substitute in this cookies. It adds a nice taste to the cookies as well. If you are okay with using eggs, check my best ever chewy chocolate chip cookies recipe.

    Plain Flour

    I used plain flour in this cookies which gives proper texture. But you can substitute with whole wheat flour. Even though it may change the texture a bit but still it will be tasty.

    Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips 

    I found that semi sweet chocolate chips gives the perfect sweetness to the cookies. You could use sugar free chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.

    Pro Tips for Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Egg Substitute in Cookies

    There may be so many egg substitute when making eggless cakes like apple sauce, mashed bananas, sweetened condensed milk, yogurt, milk, vinegar. But the option for cookies is very less. So far in my experience I have found 2 egg alternatives in cookies

    1. Flax Egg - for every 1 egg you can use 1 tbsp flax seed powder mixed with 3 tbsp of warm water.
    2. Yogurt - Use 1.5 tbsp of thick plain yogurt instead of 1 egg in this recipe.

    Chewy Cookies

    Use thick yogurt and addition of brown sugar will make your cookies chewier. So never skip on the brown sugar.

    Storage & Freezing

    Making and baking cookies can be easy but storing them the correct way keeps your cookies chewy longer.

    • Never over bake your cookies. Cookies may look soft when you remove them from oven. But it hardens and sets once it cools.
    • Baked cookies can be stored in an air tight container with a small piece of bread or marshmallow to preserve the chewiness in cookies.

    How you can make Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies Healthy?

    I have tried a variation of this same recipe. I used oil instead of butter and whole wheat flour instead of plain flour which results in a much healthier cookie. This is the change which I did.

    Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies made with oil and wheat flour

    Oil instead of butter - I used ¼ cup | 60 ml vegetable oil in place of 50 grams of butter.

    Wheat flour substitute - 1 cup whole wheat flour instead of 1 cup of plain flour.

    Baking Time - I baked the cookies at 180 degree C for 15 mins.

      its sad to see that you have used a word called "Diet"...its completely contradicting to your intake....if you are on a diet...you should eat only "UNPROCESED FOOD" .. and do regular excercises....
      eating wheat/jaggery can NEVER substitute healthy food and MY GOODNESS Choc chips!!!! you will have to run for 10kms to burn that away for the day!!!

      My son loves choco chip cookies and looking at the ingredients at the back of the store bought ones, decided to give it a try. And this recipe works like a charm... Me n my son both luv crisp cookies and I added slightly more milk and baked for 3 extra minutes and it turned out so well.. tks a lot... Planning to make it with raagi instead of wheat next time. Any tips to be followed??
