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
- Flax Egg - for every 1 egg you can use 1 tbsp flax seed powder mixed with 3 tbsp of warm water.
- 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.
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.
