Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

September 10, 2015 by Aida 6 Comments

These Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are bakery style cookies – chewy, soft, loaded with chocolate and full of brown sugar and buttery goodness.  You would never guess that they’re egg-free!

This week my kids are back in school, and my dreams of having more time to get stuff done (e.g errands, housework, blogging, working out, taking a bath, combing my hair – you get the picture). But I was so wrong. So, so wrong! We’re bogged down with back to school events, and  there’s the trauma of getting ourselves back on schedule. Or even having a schedule, let alone trying to get back on a schedule.

That leaves little time for me in the lunch-making department. My though process on lunches is always the same: plan ahead. I decide which fruits, vegetables, carbohydrates, protein, and dessert (yes, dessert is a food group for me) I’ll be preparing for lunch and snack.

These Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfect for make ahead occasions like planning lunches. You can bake them as directed in the recipe. Or you can do what I do, make the batter, roll it out into balls and freeze them. Then you can pop them in the oven for a fresh-baked treat or you can bake a batch for the kids’ lunches for the week.

So, why egg-free? Well, some good friends of ours have children with severe egg allergies, and when I was charged with making a treat for one of their birthdays, I turned these Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies into a cookie cake. It was such a hit with everyone (kids and adults), that I often substitute this Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie dough for my usual chocolate chip cookies.

And yes, since this is an Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie batter, you can eat it raw! I’ve been known to sneak teaspoons full of this scrumptious batter while I’m forming the cookies into balls. When we were making these Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies to take to a friend’s house, my older daughter was counting the cookies as we rolled out the dough, and said, “Where are the rest of the cookies? Why are so many missing?” I had to come clean and tell her that I’d been snacking on the batter. Without hesitating, once she heard what I did, she popped an entire, uncooked ball of dough in her mouth. Then she gave me that smile that said, “You did. So now it’s my turn.”

    Hope your kids are having a great time at school so far. I thought I would have extra time now that my son started school too but you are so right, there are all the other things to plan for as well as getting everyone used to the new schedule. Soft and chewy cookies are my son’s favorite. His school is eggfree, so these would be perfect to pack in his lunchbox.

    Getting back on a schedule when school starts is always so tough! I feel ya girl! I would have never thought to freeze the dough into balls for later. I always get super excited and want to bake it all at once. I thinki I will have to try this out next time.

    Have a great week!
