Eggless Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies [nut free, vegan option]

Without eggs, you’d think cookies would crumble- hardy har har. I like to assume people get my sense of humor, no matter how lackluster it is. Anyway, I’m here to prove that theory WRONG. In fact, I would argue that oatmeal chocolate chip cookies absolutely do not need eggs when they taste this delicious. Hence the birth of eggless oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorites; in fact I keep a standby batch in the freezer of these delectable yet hearty dough balls. Like most of my recipes, the ingredients are not weird, they are basic staples most people have on hand or something easily found at your local grocery store. So whether it is an egg allergy, you prefer a vegan diet, or you ran out of eggs and are craving a scrumptious chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie (oats=healthier), you have come to the right place!

How to achieve perfect Eggless Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies:

Prepare the dough by combining butter and sugars. You can use a mixer or just good old grit and muscle with a rice spatula (my fav.) Slowly stir in the water, about a tablespoon at a time, continuing to mix without splashing it everywhere. Stir in the vanilla extract. Beat until very well combined, and dough becomes ‘airy’/ has a lighter, less dense feel.

Add your dry ingredients atop the wet dough: flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix to combine. Then add in your oats and chocolate chips, stir until completely incorporated. Roll into desired size of ball, and gently press down on the tops to flatten the tops of the cookie dough. This will help with an even baking if they are all the same height.

Bake at 350° on parchment lined sheet for 10-12 minutes, depending on size of dough. Remove from oven when cookies are still slightly undercooked in the very center. Leave on cookie sheet for another 5 minutes to ‘finish baking’. If you prefer a crisp cookie, skip that step and bake fully with no undercooked centers. Edges and bottoms should be golden-brown. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

*Tips, tricks and Substitutions 

*Butter– To make these dairy free, substitute with dairy free/plant based butter

*Chocolate Chips– Use your favorite dairy free or vegan brand of chocolate chips

*Parchment– I always line my pan with parchment, it makes for quick cleanup, however it is not necessary if you don’t have it

*Freeze– Dough balls may be frozen, stored in air tight bag, and baked as needed. Allow to rest on pan while oven preheats and bake as usual.
