Cause, liike, THEY RLY RLY ARE.
I am usually so sketchy about saying something is “the best.”
I mean, everyone has their own taste buds, and sometimes our little taste buds are NOT buddies in the sense that they don’t agree on what is the yummiest AND BEST.
But these babies? They truly are the best.
I know I shouldn’t pick favorites between my gluten free chocolate chip cookies recipes or my avocado centric healthy chocolate chip avocado cookies OR the paleo coconut flour chocolate chip cookies…
But I am. It’s these. They are my favorite…and I am predicting they will be yours too.

How to make Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mix
In a medium bowl, add the oat flour , cornstarch, baking soda and salt and stir to combine. In a larger bowl, add the butter and both sugars and beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
Combine
In a small bowl, add the oil, water and baking powder and whisk until frothy. Add it to the butter mixture, along with the vanilla, and beat once again until fluffy. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring to combine. Once the dough has formed, stir in the chocolate chips.
Chill
Cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge to chill for about 2 hours or up to overnight.
Bake
Preheat your oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheet, slightly pushing down each ball. Bake until the top just feels set and the edges just begin to turn light golden brown.
Enjoy
Cool a bit on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Serve and DEVOUR!
Top Tips for making Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Chill the Dough: Do not skip this VERY important step. Chilling the dough will allow the binding agent (baking powder, water and oil) to work its magic. The cookies’ texture will be perfectly chewy and will hold together best if the dough has chilled to set.
- Don’t overbake: These cookies tend to set up A LOT after you have pulled them from the oven, so keep that in mind when baking them! I recommend pulling them from the oven JUST when you start to see some golden brown edges on them.
- Want to make them a little more wholesome? You can add oatmeal and follow my vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies recipe!
Storage
These cookies last up to a week in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. They will last even longer-up to 3 months- in the freezer when kept in an airtight container or a freezer style ziploc bag.
You’ll be making up for lost cookie eating time too.

These sound wonderful! I do have a question, would it be possible to make these with very little sugar? My grandkids are gluten and egg free and very little sugar. Thank you!
Hi Teresa, it is surely possible but it will impact the taste. Did you think of using sugar free sweeteners like monkfruit?
