Eggless Chocolate Sugar Cookies Recipe | Egg-less Baking

These rich, dark and delicious eggless chocolate sugar cookies are an addiction. With their light and fluffy texture combined with the dark chocolate that just melts in the mouth. A simple, easy and effortless recipe that will have you making these more often than you plan.

Now, that I have shared with you my Eggless Vanilla Sugar Cookies, you won't be surprised that there is a chocolate version of this recipe as well. Does it make sense to say that this one is really melts in the mouth delicious!!

Well, you know how I feel about my recipes. I only share them with you when I am one hundred percent happy and proud of the recipe. If not, it goes back to the trial and error stage. I NEVER EVER share a recipe I'd tried just once. Definitely not if baking is involved. The same recipe can be so different at two different times.

Now, those of you who have been using my recipe The BEST Chocolate Sugar Cookies, which is one of my popular post on this blog. Well, let's just say you going to love this one as well. But, don't ask me to choose. I make them both just as often.

Look at how deep that cocoa is, and notice how light and fluffy the cookie is. Now, that's what I mean by melt in the mouth.

The BEST Eggless Chocolate Sugar Cookies 

Let's talk ingredients and substitutes (Save /Pin)

  • Butter - I use unsalted butter so I can control the amount of salt. You can use salted butter as well. If you do, just omit salt in the recipe.
  • Powdered sugar - This adds lightness to the cookie dough. First, because we cream it until it's light and fluffy, so don't skip that part. And second, because powdered sugar has cornstarch added to it which gives the cookies that shortbread texture that melts in the mouth. You can use one cup of regular sugar. And yet, you will compromise on the texture.
  • Cocoa powder - I love using dark cocoa powder, but any cocoa powder works for this. Have you ever tried Cadbury cocoa powder? You must!
  • Baking powder - If you notice there is barely any. And sometimes, I omit the baking powder when I need my cookies to be the exact size of the cookie cutter after they are baked. This helps me decorate them with fondant.
  • Water - You may need only one or two tbsp depending on how you measure the flour. You can use milk, but I prefer water to keep it simple.

Useful tips and tools

  • I'm not a slave to mixers. And yet, when you need some good creaming I have to insist that you use the K-Mix or Kitchen Aid.
  • A good baking tray is always important. Try using a light colored baking tray. Another option is to line the baking tray with parchment paper.
  • If you aren't going to fill or decorate these cookies a regular rolling pin will work just fine. And yet, a cookie rolling pin has the side spacers that will also help you with rolling. So all your cookies are leveled and bake evenly.
  • Also, it is really important to cool cookies completely on all sides as soon as they come out of the oven. So take them off the baking tray to prevent them from cooking further and place them on a cooking rack so they air circulates on all sides. This prevents steam from going back into the cookie thus keeping them crispy not soggy.
  • Always bake cookies on the center rack of your oven. If you have more than one tray simply bake them one at a time. You can bake two trays at the same time, and yet this can lead to some of the cookies in the bottom tray spreading too much. Also, you can rotate the trays during the baking. This is helpful with some cookies.
  • Most cookies usually bake between 10 to 12 minutes. These took me about 10 minutes. Since cookies bake quickly they can also get over-baked. This is due to our tendency to get distracted at the last minute. Hence, my solution is a kitchen timer that is always set to 10 minutes. I turn it on as soon as I place the cookies in the oven. This has saved me many cookies since my kids always keep me busy.

For the Eggless Chocolate Sugar Cookies

Prepare

  • Sift flour with cocoa powder, baking powder and salt - set aside.

Mix dough

  • Cream butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  • Add vanilla - mix well.
  • Lastly, add flour in two batches and foam a smooth cookie dough.
  • If cookie dough feels dry - add one tbsp of water.
  • Wrap the cookie dough in cling wrap and chill until firm.

Cut and Bake cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C/ 356 F.
  • Roll chilled cookie dough about 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface with cookie cutters of your choice.
  • Place on a cookie tray and bake on the middle shelf for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Depending on thickness these can take up to 12 minutes. You only need a slight color on the edges.
  • Cool on a cooling rack completely before you transfer to a cookie jar or decorate.

For the Eggless frosting

  • Sift the powdered sugar so there are no lumps.
  • Combine all ingredients until light and fluffy.
  • Add more powdered sugar or light corn syrup to bring to consistency.
