If you are a chocolate addict and love cookies, nothing should stop you from having what you like. That’s why these eggless chocolate chunk cookies work really well, they can be eaten by anyone, especially those who don’t eat eggs even in the “hidden” form.
Eggless Chocolate Chip (or Chunk) Cookies
Makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies
Adapted from: A Passion for Baking by Marcy Goldman
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp flax seed powdered (to replace 2 eggs)
2 cups + 4 tbsp all purpose flour or maida
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 to 1.5 cups chocolate chunks
How to make Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies:
1. Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line baking trays with parchment paper and baking sheets.
2. In a bowl, either by hand or mixer, cream butter and both sugars well together until very smooth (about 3-5 mins). Add vanilla and flax seed powder and mix until well blended. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to this mixture. Fold well until all ingredients are combined well (you don’t need to mix or sift dry ingredients before adding to the wet mixture but you can if you want to).
3. Fold in the chocolate chunks finally. Scoop out using a tablespoon (adding 2 to 3 tbsp per cookie) or small ice cream scoop and place the cookies atleast 2 inches apart on the baking tray.
4. Bake for 12-15 mins until the cookies have flattened out and the edges brown nicely.
The warm cookies are heavenly. Chocolate chunks, unlike chips, melt in the cookies and remain gooey and yummy for as long as the cookies last.
Very addictive and tempting cookies..
Cold Milk & chocolate chunk cookies .. aaah Blis ..
Tempting cookies….love to grab one right now…
Wow, Nags finally an egg less version of the ever famous choco chip cookies. thanks to you. bookmarked. let me check if I could get hold of choco chunks let alone chips.
Lemme tell you first,am not a choco fan..But tempted to come here coz of the cool clicks..My God,I love to much some of them.What you wrote here about chunks being used,I totally agree.A very sensible idea Nags.Thank you.Bookmarking.
not sure why you got the ghee smell. consistency of batter definitely has an effect on the end product but usually cookie doughs are not watery, otherwise they can't hold shape. the consistency you see in the pics is probably the loosest it will be – ie, scoop-able consistency. the end result of this cookie is fudgy and soft. you can use eggs instead of using the flax seed as egg replacement.
Absolutely 🙂 that's what the original recipe calls for. I really want to try it that way too, so planning to do a double chocolate chunk cookies recipe variation with eggs next time!
Havent tasted choco chunk cookies but I luv choco chip cookies….Looks very tempting

Thanks! Yes, i feel chocolate chunks work so much better in cookies than chips do. I am planning to tweak this recipe and create a double chocolate chocolate chunk cookie recipe!
