This week I received a lovely surprise in my inbox. My blog was selected as one of the Top 10 Eggless Baking blogs by Feedspot.com!! And I even received a badge for it! Yeey!!

Well, I wanted to celebrate this awesome news with you by sharing one of my absolute favorite cookie recipes – These are the BEST Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER!! Well, I didn’t say that my friends did! Two of my friends who have now turned eggless got these from me as Christmas Gifts!! and they raved about these… you know that feeling when someone really enjoys what you cooked…? Sigh… you know what I’m talking right?
So these cookies.. well, they have no eggs but they are still chewy! And guess how I ended up with this recipe? I actually forgot to put eggs in my regular chocolate chip cookies (which again as you know is one of the most popular recipes on this blog -The best chocolate chip cookies ever but with eggs) The first time they were a crumbly not chewy so I had to try them a few times before I got to just the right texture and taste. And the secret was to add cornstarch and yogurt (water works too).
The BEST Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
So Let’s talk Ingredients and Substitutes (Save/Pin for later)
- Sugar – You need both white and brown sugar – the molasses in the brown sugar not just adds flavor but contributes to the chewy texture as well.
- Cornstarch – this usually adds a shortbread kinda texture to the cookie but in this case because of the water it actually works as a slur and adds a chewy texture.
- Baking Powder – It’s a small amount because I want them light and fluffy but mostly chewy.
- Vanilla – always a great flavor to chocolate chip but if you ever want to experiment – try, rose extract… out of this world.
- Water – yes believe it or not in this cookie; water works as a great substitute but mixed with cornstarch makes them chewy.

Hi, thank you so much for the recipe! My boyfriend’s family love my cookies but his mum has never been able to try them as she’s veggie. Excited to try and make these for her before I go and visit tomorrow!
I am unable to get light brown sugar here in Delhi, and I was wondering if powdered jaggery will work? I’ve been using it as a substitute for most baking but do you think I should be using more/less than the amount for light brown sugar? Any other tips? Thank you so much!
Tabitha, so happy to hear you like my recipes. Do you get molasses? If you do than use white sugar and a tbsp of molasses. Jaggery is good but it may not give the same texture for the cookies. Having said that if jaggery is all you get then give it a go. I have not tied it so can’t say how it will work. It may be on the softer side. Let me know what you do and how it turned out.
Those sound so good, and I love the idea to freeze the dough for later. I may drop dough balls and freeze it that way so I can make one or six at a time!
I always freeze half my dough Michelle. We love fresh cookies so it really is a great time saver.
Congratulations on your award!! You deserve because you are a great baker and artist. Now, for the cookies, they sound terrific and I can’t believe they are made without eggs. And I have to admit I can’t resist chocolate chip cookies.
Aww thank you Marisa. You always have the nicest things to say. Thank you. I think you will love these.
First of congrats on the award! You are an awesome baker. Baking is quite a science isn’t it. That’s so cool how you can figure out how to change the texture in a cookie. These look delicious with or without eggs. Chocolate chips cookies are on my list of top 5 things you would have to have if you were stranded on a deserted island! Lol
Thank you Denise, yes baking is indeed quite a fascinating science. I love playing with textures in cakes and cookies. I think chocolate chip on a deserted island would be so appreciated….ha.!!
Awesome, I love egg less cookies and cakes, really its favorite recipe for me. Thanks for sharing
Me too Madhu, I love to have the options of making these with or without eggs.
PERFECT!! I often find myself without enough eggs or with no eggs to make cookies so this is ideal for me! Also, you know, COOKIE DOUGH.
I know what you mean Jessie – I love these though we don’t necessary keep an eggless diet.
Congrats Veena! You make such lovely desserts so it’s no surprise that you were chosen. I love chocolate chip cookies and these ones look so chewy and delicious!

Chocolate chip cookies of ANY version are always a hit. Perfect for snacks, dessert with ice cream….and for my afternoon latte break. These sound nice and chewy…just the way I like them. They will disappear in a flash for sure.

Thank you so much Sandhya. I was so excited when I finally got it right. Yes, please do try and let me know. Thanks
Great recipe, my son is a fan of chocolate chip cookies, I haven’t tried an eggless version. always afraid that cookies will be come crispy. But your recipe sounds good. I know cornstarch make cookie chewy.
Thank you Swathi. Yes, without the water they become crisp not chewy- amazing how important that water is.
These cookies look and sound fabulous. You’d never know by looking at them they are egg less. I didn’t know you could substitute with cornstarch & water. Need to give this a try!
Exactly Stephanie. I switch between these and my regular chocolate chip cookies all the time and guess what – the kid or Ziv never realize the difference.
