you put eggs in cookies because it makes the cookie stay wet before you bake it. If a cookie gets dry before you can bake it, then it will burn in the oven. People might think of milk instead, but milk can be absorbed fast so we use eggs instead.
Without eggs, homemade cookies are no more than stone breads with sugar. This natural ingredient contributes to:
The white part provides strength, stability, and moisture to our homemade cookies. It consists of 90% water and 10% proteins, with very little flavor and color.
We can whip egg whites up to 8 times their volume, creating a desirable medium where air cells can be trapped to help leavening cookie dough.
Due to their high fat content, yolks can increase richness, tenderness, flavor, and color in homemade cookies. They also extend shelf life by delaying the staling process.
Eggs are put in baked goods for several reasons:
You need eggs in cookies to make them healthier since they have protein in them. Really it makes them tastier because it helps the dough rise and makes them softer and easier to eat. The egg balances dough.
Not all cookie recipes contain eggs. Eggs when cooked thicken and bind ingredients.
When you are making a quiche you mix eggs and cream and pour that over the other ingredients in a pastry case - as the quiche bakes the eggs set and hold the other ingredients together.
If you're making Hamburgers or meatloaf you add an egg and mix it in thoroughly and as it cooks the egg helps to hold the ingredients together in one piece.
In a cookie recipe they perform a similar function holding the cookie together so that when it is done you have a single cookie rather than a fragmented mound of crumbs.
So that the actual cookie stays together instead of crumbling into crumbs
It basically is the glue that holds the cookie together. It's sticky and kinda clumps everything. But many things can be substituted for it, like applesauce, even water.
The eggs help hold all the ingredients together and causes the dough to have a silky consistency.
If you didn't have eggs your cookies would crumble.
Eggs are not a replacement for milk. Water may be used instead of milk in sugar cookies.
no sorry u have 2 use flour to make a cookie
how many eggs in half a dozen

Yes but not much. There is sulfur in eggs & most cookies are made with eggs
Depends what else you put in it and your taste. My younger sister is allergic to eggs, so sometimes we make egg-free cookies. They're pretty dry...
You can eat cookies while on the South Beach Diet as long as they are flourless, based on eggs and use a sugar substitute. You can even have chocolate cookies.

The ingredients that make cookies firm include flour, sugar, and eggs. When combined, these ingredients become solid when baked.
If you want them to taste bad don't use sugar! Use sugar if you like sweet cookies
Many types of bread and various cookies use eggs for glazing.
I use chickpea flour called besan as the binder when doing baking without eggs. Make the recipe and add chickpea flour after until the cookie dough is the proper consistency. Then bake as usual.
