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 your 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 really is melt 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. 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 again 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 CookiesÂ
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
- Powder Sugar – This adds lightness to the cookie dough. First, because we cream it until light and fluffy so don’t skip that part and second because powder sugar has cornstarch added to it which gives the cookies that shortbread texture that melts it the mouth. You can use one cup of regular sugar but you will compromise on the texture.
- Cocoa Powder – I love using dark cocoa powder but any 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.
