Description
These egg-free chocolate chip cookies are crisp on the outside, chewy in the middle, and packed with chocolate chips. They are sensitive-diet friendly, easy to make, and taste just like bakery cookies without the egg.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220g) packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips
- Sea salt flakes (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light, fluffy, and pale (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed just until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Stop as soon as the flour disappears to avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are golden brown but centers still look slightly soft.
- Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature butter that is soft but cool. Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool. Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes to an hour for deeper flavor and less spreading. Dough balls can be frozen and baked from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to bake time.
