Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by amyelice

"This is a modified Toll House recipe to accommodate my allergic child. I use Ener-G Egg Replacer (NOT the Egg Substitute, which contains egg whites) or Orgran No Egg. You really can't tell the difference in flavor. The cooking time listed is per batch - you'll have about 6 - 8 batches with this recipe, which is easily halved."

Have to agree with other reviewers that it tastes just like a tollhouse cookie--you can't even tell the eggs are in there. I halved the recipe and used white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. These came out perfectly chewy with crisp edges.

My son is allergic to eggs and tree nuts. This recipe is fantastic! It has just the right combination of egg replacer and water creating a perfect cookie texture! I even found letting the dough rest a few minutes gave the cookies a better rise. Thanks for sharing this recipe. This was my son's first chocolate chip cookie!

WOW WOW WOW!!!! My daughter is allergic to dairy, egg, tree nut and peanut so we do a lot of cooking and baking in my house. I LOVED these cookies and cannot get over how fabulous they taste. THANK YOU!!!!!!! You would never know there is no egg. ( I substituted sugar for vanilla sugar, put vanilla beans into a container w/ sugar and let it sit for a week, vanilla sugar)

We loved this recipe!!!! I have been searching for a great chocolate chip cookie recipe, and I finally found it! Tastes like the real toll house cookies. If you like them chocolaty, use more chips. Thank you so much for this!

These were GREAT! My son is also allergic to dairy products, so I used a dairy-free margarine, and chocolate chips that are "allergen free." I thought that the consistency/texture of the cookie would suffer because of the margarine and lack of a real egg, but it really is just like a Toll House cookie! I use a medium cookie scoop (looks like an old fashioned ice cream scoop with a spring--you can get them at places like Linens and Things or through Pampered Chef) and I have found that this helps create that chewy center. The scoop also gives each cookie that nice round shape. It's so nice to finally have a chocolate chip cookie that the whole family can enjoy!
