Eggs in baking have two main functions. They act like glue to hold and bind the batters and doughs together so that they do not fall apart while baking, and they can assist in making the baked good lighter, fluffier, and rise a little in the oven, not to mention that eggs can also give a product a bit of a shine and glaze once baked.

For cookies, eggs tend to add some flavor and they are very important in keeping it all together. In a LOT of recipies, eggs are used as a binding agent to keep the food together, as the eggs will hold it all in as the food is cooking or baking.

Eggs add taste and moisture to a cookie, but are also very important in acting like a binding agent to hole the dough and the cookie together as it is formed and baked.

How do you make 3-d Easter egg-shaped hollowed chocolate chip cookies?

You would need an Easter egg shaped mold to bake the cookies in, which could be difficult to find (most Easter egg molds are plastic and not oven proof). Alternatively, you could make the cookies, then crumble them up (like in a cheesecake base) add melted butter, and then press this mixture into an Easter egg mold (that need not be oven-proof). If you add enough butter, the cookie should turn out and hold its shape. To join the two halves, try using melted chocolate or chocolate ganache.

Do you really need eggs to bake a cake?

It depends on the type of cookie you're making. Cookies such as chocolate chip, oatmeal, and peanut butter, do very well with eggs. But most sugar cookies can be made without any egg at all. To be safe, look up different versions of the recipe you have, and if the majority of those versions call for egg, then it's probably a good idea to keep the egg in it. You can usually, however, get away with using a substitute for the egg. Search for "egg substitutes in cookies" to see what you can come up with, if you need to, and try some out.


Do chocalte chip cookies taste the same with egg yokes?

Replacing whole eggs with egg yolks will make cookies that are flatter, richer tasting and more tender. Depending on the recipe this may work fine, or the cookies may fall apart. If the recipe calls for more than two eggs, you will need to add more liquid, since the white contains a lot of water.
