Imagine biting into a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie—crispy at the edges, soft in the center, and completely vegan. No eggs, no dairy, just pure cookie magic ready in 20 minutes! Whether you’re vegan, allergic to eggs, or simply out of groceries, this eggless chocolate chip cookies recipe is your golden ticket to dessert heaven. Fun fact: Chocolate chip cookies were invented by accident in the 1930s when Ruth Wakefield ran out of baker’s chocolate and used broken chocolate bars instead. Our recipe? A happy accident too—because who knew skipping eggs could taste this good?
These cookies are perfect for busy weeknights, last-minute guests, or tiny hands eager to “help” in the kitchen. They’re simpler than my popular Baker’s German Chocolate Cake Recipe, with no waiting for bananas to ripen! So grab your mixing bowl—let’s turn pantry staples into a treat that’ll make your taste buds (and your schedule) sing.

- Cook Time: 12 minutes

Key Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup coconut oil, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 flax “egg” (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Flax Egg: Mix flaxseed and water; let sit for 5 minutes until gel-like.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Beat coconut oil, sugar, flax egg, and vanilla until fluffy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Don’t overmix!
- Fold in Chocolate: Stir in chips (save a few for topping).
- Scoop & Bake: Drop 1-tbsp dough balls onto a lined tray. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10–12 minutes.

What to Serve With Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Dunk in almond milk for a classic combo.
- Crumble over dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
- Pair with fresh strawberries for a sweet-salty contrast.
Top Tips for Perfecting This Recipe
- Chill the Dough (if time allows) for thicker cookies.
- Swap Smart: Use applesauce instead of flax for egg-free binding.
- Underbake Slightly: Pull cookies out when edges are golden but centers look soft—they’ll firm up as they cool!
Storing and Reheating Tips
- Store: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Dough balls last 3 months; bake straight from frozen (+1–2 mins).
- Reheat: Microwave for 8 seconds or oven at 300°F for 3 minutes to revive crispness.
