Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies (5 Ingredient Recipe) - Kirbie's Cravings (1)

I’ve had an insatiable craving for chocolate chip cookies lately. I’ve bookmarked half a dozen recipes and am slowly working my way through them.

I was pretty excited when I came across an eggless chocolate chip cookies recipe because I’ve never encountered an eggless chocolate chip cookie until now. Instead of using eggs, the recipe uses condensed milk as the binding agent. I’m already in love with condensed milk as is, so I was definitely all for trying this method out.

These were simple to make and tasted yummy. The cookies are a little on the sweet side. It’s perfect for those who have egg allergies too.

Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies (5 Ingredient Recipe) - Kirbie's Cravings (2)Ingredients

  • Softened unsalted butter
  • Granulated sugar
  • Sweetened condensed milk
  • Self-rising flour
  • Semisweet chocolate chip cookies

Recipe Steps

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the milk and mix until combined.

Adjust the mixer speed to low and add the flour. Mix until the dough comes together and then stir in the chocolate chips.

Make cookie dough balls 1 1/2” big and place them two inches apart on a prepared baking sheet. I like to flatten them just a little bit so they bake up with a nice shape.

Bake the cookies for 15 minutes and then cool them before serving.

    My condensed milk is sweetened…do I still need to use the extra sugar?

    • Kirbie March 26, 2021 @ 1:15 am Reply

      yes

    Could I use brown sugar instead of regular sugar for this recipe? I’m excited to try it yeahh 🙂

    • Kirbie November 26, 2019 @ 1:15 pm Reply

      Probably, but I have not tried it with brown sugar

    The first time I made these they were delicious, totally shortbread-like, and that was with using All Purpose Flour. I bought self-raising flour and the cookies are not at all shortbread-like (which is what I loved about them the first time around). Any idea why?

    • Kirbie July 8, 2019 @ 11:11 pm Reply

      The cookies are actually supposed to be like regular chocolate chip cookies and not shortbread-like. Self raising flour has baking powder added to it which will help the cookies spread, rise, fluff up. Since you used all purpose flour the first time, you had no rising agent which is why the cookies turned out like shortbread. If you enjoyed the shortbread texture, you should stick with using AP flour.

    Oh BTW you should be proud 🙂 you cookie recipe has made it to “Down Under” in Adelaide, South Australia 🙂 🙂 and they ate just as Delicious here too 🙂

    • Kirbie September 16, 2013 @ 12:14 am Reply

      Hi to you in South Australia! It’s always fun to see how far my posts reach.

    These were delicious, I had no eggs and needed a quick afternoon tea for guests, the recipe doubled perfectly and I wasn’t worried about the kids stealing some of the dough as there was no raw egg. The will definitely be my choc chip cookie recipe fron now on 🙂

    • Kirbie September 16, 2013 @ 12:14 am Reply

      I’m glad you like it. And yes it is nice to have an eggless cookie dough!

  6. Christie September 13, 2013 @ 4:46 pm Reply

    Recipe looks great and I have no eggs in the house. Can I replace granulated sugar with light brown sugar?

    • Kirbie September 13, 2013 @ 5:34 pm Reply

      I think that should work though I haven’t actually tried it.

  7. Hannah September 12, 2013 @ 2:25 pm Reply

    Wow! What a great recipe! My two sister-in-laws are allegeric to eggs and I really struggle to find egg free baking recipes. They were so yummy and tasted just like normal cookies! Also if I wanted to make them into chocolate cookies would you recommend adding coco powder or melted chocolate and if so how much? Thank you

    • Kirbie September 13, 2013 @ 12:31 am Reply

      I would try unsweetened cocoa powder. Maybe 2 tbsp?

  8. Sheetal September 10, 2013 @ 1:59 pm Reply

    Awesome cookies Kirbie.My daughters(who cannot tolerate the smell/taste of eggs) just loved them. Gonna try with whole wheat flour. Super easy recipe sooo glad i found it.

    • Kirbie September 10, 2013 @ 9:02 pm Reply

      glad you like it!

  9. RibMtMama August 8, 2013 @ 5:26 pm Reply

    I googled the amount and used 3/4 cup of butter. They are delicious, and my daughter was over the moon for her first “real” chocolate chip cookies.

    Thank you so much for this great recipe! It will be one of my new go-to treats for her. Yum!

    • Kirbie August 8, 2013 @ 6:23 pm Reply

      I’m so happy that she enjoyed them!

  10. RibMtMama August 8, 2013 @ 2:42 pm Reply

    I am so excited to try this recipe! My four year old daughter has an egg allergy and the two other recipes I have tried for chocolate chip cookies were an utter disappointment.

    This may seem like a dumb question, but can you give me a traditional measurement (i.e., tablespoons or cups) for 180 grams of butter? Many thanks!

    • Kirbie August 8, 2013 @ 3:52 pm Reply

      try doing a google search, usually there are sites that give you the conversions. I just weigh it out when the recipe calls for it, so I don”t know the conversions off hand.

  11. Gi July 14, 2013 @ 1:40 pm Reply

    Hi, i do not have sel rising flour in my pantry, can I use all purpose flour instead?

    • Kirbie July 15, 2013 @ 7:45 am Reply

      If you use all purpose you need to add the appropriate amount of baking powder and baking soda to make it like self rising flour. There are websites which will tell you the conversion

  12. uma June 18, 2013 @ 2:11 pm Reply

    Roughly, how many cookies will b made out of this recipe?

    • Kirbie June 18, 2013 @ 2:42 pm Reply

      If I remember correctly, it was about 2 dozen, maybe slightly more.

  13. Annie June 10, 2013 @ 7:32 am Reply

    Thank you for sharing, I will have to try this.

    @ Danile, who’s son has an egg allergy. Hi, My son is also allergic to eggs and I have tried some awesome recipes from the vegan chef Chloe and every single one I tried was awesome. Check her recipes here: https://chefchloe.com/

    Take care! 🙂

    Recipe sounds good. Am going to try this tonight for my eggless family – stay tuned for reviews. I’m just wondering how can we adjust the recipe to make a slightly gooey consistency? Thanks for your blog!

    • Kirbie June 1, 2013 @ 2:53 pm Reply

      Hmm, these cookies are more like biscuit type cookies so I’m not sure you can achieve a gooey consistency that won’t just taste raw and not very good.

    This is really amazing!! I love the result its really yummy as well

    Should I use salted or unsalted butter?

    • Kirbie April 9, 2013 @ 2:26 pm Reply

      unsalted! All my recipes used unsalted unless specified differently.

  17. Daniela March 16, 2013 @ 2:41 am Reply

    Thank you for this recipe. My four year old son has a severe egg allergy so I am constantly searching for egg-free cake and cookie recipes that we can do together and which don’t use weird or expensive ingredients. If you have any other egg-free recipes, we would really appreciate them. Many thanks.

    • Kirbie March 16, 2013 @ 5:06 pm Reply

      If you do a search for “eggless” on my blog you should come with a few more recipes that I really liked.

  18. Danielle January 23, 2013 @ 8:36 am Reply

    5 ingredients?! That’s awesome! I made some chocolate covered cookie dough balls that had condensed milk but it never occurred to me to try to actually bake them. I wonder if the recipe was the same. I’m off to find out!

    • Kirbie January 23, 2013 @ 10:23 am Reply

      Let me know!

  19. Kay January 23, 2013 @ 8:20 am Reply

    I’ve luckily never had coworkers with allergies, but if an egg allergy comes up it’ll be good to have this recipe on hand!

    • Kirbie January 23, 2013 @ 10:25 am Reply

      I haven’t either. But I do often get people leaving me comments asking me for an egg free recipe because they or their loved ones have egg allergies.

  20. caninecologne January 23, 2013 @ 7:10 am Reply

    Where can you buy caster sugar? Or can I just grind up regular sugar to make it superfine?

    • Kirbie January 23, 2013 @ 10:27 am Reply

      You can grind up regular sugar, but honestly I just used regular granulated sugar and the recipe still worked. I should change that on the recipe.

    I’m a big fan of cookies, and these one look great.

    • Kirbie January 23, 2013 @ 10:27 am Reply

      It’s a little different with the condensed milk and I love trying different twists on the classic

  22. Max January 23, 2013 @ 2:07 am Reply

    Love this recipe. It’s actually perfect for having the cookie dough by itself too, don’t you think?

    • Kirbie January 23, 2013 @ 2:15 am Reply

      You know I’m always afraid to eat raw cookie dough because of the eggs and I didn’t even think about trying this one while it was raw. But I just realized from your comment that I could have. I will definitely need to make a new batch and maybe do something with the cookie dough without baking it.

  23. Piovono Polpette January 23, 2013 @ 1:57 am Reply

    I’ve just bought a can of condensed milk… I think I now know how I want to use it!

    • Kirbie January 23, 2013 @ 2:14 am Reply

      Definitely give these a try! I was really happy with how the cookies turned out.

Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies (5 Ingredient Recipe) - Kirbie's Cravings (2024)

FAQs

What happens if you add too many eggs to chocolate chip cookies? ›

Using too few eggs will make your desserts dense, but using too many will make them rubbery. The explanation for this lies in the fact that eggs are made up of protein. As Fine Cooking explains, when the protein in eggs combines with the protein in flour, they produce the overall structure of the baked good.

What is a substitute for chocolate chips in cookies? ›

Luckily, chocolate chip cookies are about as adaptable as cookies get. You don't even need chocolate chips. A chopped chocolate bar or two — bittersweet, milk chocolate with almonds, white chocolate with mint — will work quite well.

How to doctor up chocolate chip cookie mix? ›

  1. Use browned butter (add about 10% more than what's suggested on the box).
  2. chill the dough for at least two hours if you want less spread.
  3. add cocoa powder or espresso powder into the dry ingredients, maybe vanilla extract too.
  4. yes adding marshmallow should be good. Or choco chips.

What is a good substitute for eggs in cookies? ›

You can whisk 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of water and 2 teaspoons of baking powder together to replace each egg in baked goods like cookies, brownies or quick breads. This substitution won't impact a recipes' flavor profile the way egg substitutions like mashed banana or flaxseed might.

Can I leave eggs out of cookies? ›

A simple combination of water, baking powder, and vegetable oil mimics eggs almost to a T. It's a great option for cookies, quick breads, and brownies.

What does vanilla extract do to cookies? ›

Vanilla does offer more than just a bit of floral flavor. Sometimes it's a flavor enhancer and sometimes it's a flavor balancer. But to be honest, unless it's a vanilla cookie, it's not a true dealbreaker. Especially if you're making cookies that have lots of other flavors going on, like coconut or dark chocolate.

What is the purpose of egg in chocolate chip cookies? ›

Eggs play an important roll in our baked goods. Eggs add structure, leavening, color, and flavor to our cakes and cookies. It's the balance between eggs and flour that help provide the height and texture of many of the baked goods here on Joy the Baker. It's a balancing act.

Can you substitute vanilla extract in chocolate chip cookies? ›

There are various substitutes people can use for vanilla extract, but some may be better suited to certain recipes than others. These include vanilla paste, maple syrup, and honey.

Can I use cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips in cookies? ›

Use three tablespoons of cocoa powder and one tablespoon of butter or vegetable oil for each 30 grams of chocolate you're replacing. Cocoa powder has a more intense flavour than baking chocolate, less fat, and, in most cases, no sugar. So if you just swapped one for the other, your bake wouldn't taste quite the same.

Can I use chopped chocolate instead of chocolate chips? ›

But get this! The first chocolate chip cookie didn't actually contain chocolate chips. To make her iconic cookies, Ruth instead chopped a chocolate bar into chunks, then stirred those chunks into the cookie dough. And it turns out, Ruth was on to something: Chopped chocolate, not chocolate chips, make the best cookies.

How to make Betty Crocker cookies without eggs? ›

Cookies usually call for 1 to 2 eggs. Subbing in mashed banana or applesauce will be acceptable, but the overall texture will likely be cakier. Flavor could be altered, depending on the substitute used.

What happens when you put baking soda in chocolate chip cookies? ›

Baking soda also serves another important purpose when it comes to cookies: It encourages spreading by raising the mixture's pH, which slows protein coagulation. This gives the dough more time to set before the eggs set, which results in a more evenly baked cookie.

Should chocolate chip cookie dough be cold before baking? ›

Generally speaking, you should chill your cookie dough before baking it.

Can I use 3 eggs instead of 4 in a cake? ›

The generally rule is 1 egg per 1 & 1/4 cup of flour for muffins and 2 eggs per 1 & 1/4 cups of flour for cakes. Generally speaking, when you go from 4 to 3 eggs, you are not making that much of a difference, and most recipes are built around large eggs, and most people buy extra large eggs.

What happens if egg size is small? ›

However, the egg size also matters in conceiving because it has to be of the right size for fertility. The minimum egg size to get pregnant is 18-20mm (1.8 – 2.0cm), otherwise, the normal egg size is 22 to 24mm (2.2 – 2.4cm). In case, your ovary produces shrunk eggs, it will cause your problem in conceiving.

Does egg size matter in cookies? ›

Whereas cookies and cakes made with small eggs can be dry, dense, and crumbly, those made with big ones can be heavy, wet, and rubbery. Some cookies could pancake, while others might turn out overly cakey. Dough that you need to roll out—like for sugar cookies—could be frustratingly wet and sticky.

How important are eggs in cookies? ›

Eggs promote puffiness and spreading in cookies, while also holding the cookie together during baking. The height and texture of the final product is determined by how much egg is incorporated into the batter. Substituting ingredients can make or break a recipe.
