What will happen to a cookie if you leave the egg out?

Answer 1

the cake will become very clumpy and dry because the albumen, or the white liquid surrounding the egg, will become dense and coagulate the rest of the ingredients. u want it to coagulate or else your cake will not hold.

Answer 2

The egg binds the ingredients together and depending somewhat on how many eggs the recipe calls for, affects the taste. I think you would end up with something like a sweet biscuit, which might fall apart. Milk can take place of some of the egg, if the recipe calls for milk- with no milk and no egg. I do not know what you would get, but I do not think I would like it.

Bottom line-- there is a reason why cookie recipes call for eggs -- procede at your own risk-- but the worst thing that could happen is that you could not eat your creation- and I think you could eat it and it would still be nutritious, but you might not like it.

Answer 3

The eggs act as a binder in cake/biscuit recipes-your cookies will crumble before you even get them out of the oven. Incidently that's the way the cookie crumbles comes from this.

Answer 4

it will look different but really good
