What will happen if you make chocolate chip cookies without any eggs?

Answer 1

You could experiment by making a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, and tweaking it. In lieu of those leavening products you could whip your egg whites until they are thick/foamy/white with a dash of sugar and fold it into your batter.

Honestly though, I think it would be pretty tough to do.

Answer 2

If your recipe calls for it, YES!

I made a batch of oatmeal cookies and forgot the baking soda the recipe had called for. They tasted so awful that not even the squirrels would eat them.

Answer 3

Baking powder and baking soda are leavening agents, they both cause a reaction when mixed with liquids that make tiny bubbles, which causes the batter to get lighter (rise). If you do not add baking soda your cookies will be flat and heavier.

Answer 4

The typical chocolate chip cookie recipe such as the Toll House Cookie recipe would result in a rather hard, dry cookie if made without eggs. With some adjustments, one could make something resembling a brown sugar shortbread dotted with chocolate.

Answer 5

Soda and powder are used to produce a gas when exposed to hot temperatures that will make the cookie rise in the oven. Without these leavening agents, you will have a crisp flat cookie.

Answer 6

Yes they just won't rise as much. You could use self-raising flour instead though?

Answer 7

No👎
