20 Easy and Delicious Eggless-Cookie Recipes
Whether you’re vegan, allergic to eggs, or simply out of eggs, having an egg-free cookie recipe on hand can be really helpful. Eggs play a major role in binding ingredients together in traditional baking, but there are plenty of creative substitutes for them. From whipped aquafaba and flax eggs to mashed bananas and applesauce, there are plenty of tasty options out there. And just because you’re using chickpea liquid doesn’t mean your cookies will taste like beans – you won’t even notice that eggs are missing with most of these recipes, and you’ll be amazed at everything you can make without them.
