NO EGG CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

If you have any type of egg allergy in your family then you must try these no egg chocolate chip cookies! They bake up so perfectly soft, delicious, and thick! No thin crispy cookies with these no egg cream cheese chocolate chip cookies.

My kids love chocolate chip cookies and although we have no egg allergies to worry about at my house, we still all prefer these no egg cookies over regular chocolate chip cookies.

CREAM CHEESE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Instead of the eggs this recipe uses cream cheese! It gives these cream cheese chocolate chip cookies a creamy and rich taste that is so delicious when paired with milk chocolate chips.

It also helps lighten up the cookies a bit too. Which I can appreciate it because there is nothing worse than baking cookies only to have them turn out really browned.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITHOUT EGG

Melted Butter – The butter needs to be melted & cooled before adding it into the bowl. To do this, place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or glass measurer and microwave for about 45 seconds. At this point you should half melted butter + half soft formed butter. Take a fork and mix it all up until everything is melted and smooth. This gives you melted butter that is not piping hot.

Cream Cheese – For best taste use the real, full-fat stuff. Make sure it’s softened well before adding it in to avoid lumps in your cookie batter.

Granulated Sugar & Light Brown Sugar

Vanilla Extract

MY TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS FOR THIS RECIPE

Make sure you beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugars for at least 1-2 minutes. You want the mixture to be fluffy looking and lighter in color than when you started. This takes at least a minute of beating to achieve this.
Use any kind of chocolate chips you prefer! Some like using a little bit of two kinds (semi-sweet + milk chocolate) while other prefer all milk chocolate.
Make sure the cream cheese is very soft! If it’s still cold or harder then it won’t mix in well with the butter and sugars and will turn the batter lumpy. Place unwrapped 6 ounces of cream cheese on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for about 25-30 seconds to get it nice & soft.
Roll the dough into balls before baking. This ensures that your cookies will turn out nice and pretty, and round & puffy.
The dough is softer than usual cookie dough but that’s ok. Just go with it.

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 11 minutes minutes

Total Time 21 minutes minutes

Ingredients

▢ 6 oz cream cheese softened
▢ 12 tablespoons butter melted & cooled
▢ 1 cup light brown sugar
▢ 1/2 cup granulated sugar
▢ 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
▢ ½ teaspoon baking soda
▢ ½ teaspoon salt
▢ 2 cups + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
▢ 1½ cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper, using a silpat liner, or spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl with a handheld mixer, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until lighter in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in vanilla extract and mix together.
Add the baking soda, salt, and flour and mix just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix.
Roll dough into 2" balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 11-14 minutes.
Cookies will be puffy, still pale in color, and the tops should have slight cracks in them. They will cook slightly more as they cool on the hot cookie sheet so don't overbake them.
Let the cookies cool for 15-20 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Cream Cheese : Place unwrapped cream cheese onto a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 30-40 seconds. You want the cream cheese really soft but not melted and super hot.

Butter : To get melted & cooled butter place unwrapped butter into a microwave-safe bowl or glass measurer. Microwave for 40 seconds. You should have half melted butter + half soft formed butter. Take a fork and stir it until everything is melted and combined. You can use this immediately in the cookie dough as it's melted but still cool.

Chocolate Chips : Use any kind you prefer. I think they taste best with milk chocolate chips but any will work. Or use some of two kinds (like semi-sweet and milk chocolate).

Tip : Make sure you mix the butter, cream cheese, and sugar for at least 1-2 minutes. You want the mixture to be fluffy looking and lighter in color than when you started. This takes at least 1 minute.
