The cookies bake up just like regular chocolate chip cookies and pretty much taste like regular chocolate chip cookies except they have no egg. They have a thick center, while the exterior is slightly crunchy, reminiscent of shortbread cookies. Eggless chocolate chip cookies are easy to make when you’re craving something sweet.
I’ve had an insatiable craving for chocolate chip cookies lately. I’ve bookmarked half a dozen recipes and am slowly working my way through them.
I was pretty excited when I came across an eggless chocolate chip cookies recipe because I’ve never encountered an eggless chocolate chip cookie until now. Instead of using eggs, the recipe uses condensed milk as the binding agent. I’m already in love with condensed milk as is, so I was definitely all for trying this method out.
These were simple to make and tasted yummy. The cookies are a little on the sweet side. It’s perfect for those who have egg allergies too.
Ingredients
Ingredients- Softened unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Self-rising flour
- Semisweet chocolate chip cookies
Recipe Steps
Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the milk and mix until combined.
Adjust the mixer speed to low and add the flour. Mix until the dough comes together and then stir in the chocolate chips.
Make cookie dough balls 1 1/2” big and place them two inches apart on a prepared baking sheet. I like to flatten them just a little bit so they bake up with a nice shape.
Bake the cookies for 15 minutes and then cool them before serving.
The recipe, courtesy of Nestle, turned out great. The cookies bake up just like regular chocolate chip cookies and pretty much taste like regular chocolate chip cookies. You don’t miss the egg.
They have a thick center, while the exterior is slightly crunchy, reminiscent of shortbread cookies, which is the only noticeable sign that there are no eggs in this recipe.
These are a great option if you want a quick and easy cookie recipe or are baking for someone with an egg allergy. Here are some more recipes without eggs if you’re looking for more ideas:

My condensed milk is sweetened…do I still need to use the extra sugar?
yes
Could I use brown sugar instead of regular sugar for this recipe? I’m excited to try it yeahh 🙂
Probably, but I have not tried it with brown sugar
The first time I made these they were delicious, totally shortbread-like, and that was with using All Purpose Flour. I bought self-raising flour and the cookies are not at all shortbread-like (which is what I loved about them the first time around). Any idea why?
The cookies are actually supposed to be like regular chocolate chip cookies and not shortbread-like. Self raising flour has baking powder added to it which will help the cookies spread, rise, fluff up. Since you used all purpose flour the first time, you had no rising agent which is why the cookies turned out like shortbread. If you enjoyed the shortbread texture, you should stick with using AP flour.
Oh BTW you should be proud 🙂 you cookie recipe has made it to “Down Under” in Adelaide, South Australia 🙂 🙂 and they ate just as Delicious here too 🙂
Hi to you in South Australia! It’s always fun to see how far my posts reach.
These were delicious, I had no eggs and needed a quick afternoon tea for guests, the recipe doubled perfectly and I wasn’t worried about the kids stealing some of the dough as there was no raw egg. The will definitely be my choc chip cookie recipe fron now on 🙂
I’m glad you like it. And yes it is nice to have an eggless cookie dough!
Recipe looks great and I have no eggs in the house. Can I replace granulated sugar with light brown sugar?
I think that should work though I haven’t actually tried it.
Wow! What a great recipe! My two sister-in-laws are allegeric to eggs and I really struggle to find egg free baking recipes. They were so yummy and tasted just like normal cookies! Also if I wanted to make them into chocolate cookies would you recommend adding coco powder or melted chocolate and if so how much? Thank you
I would try unsweetened cocoa powder. Maybe 2 tbsp?
Awesome cookies Kirbie.My daughters(who cannot tolerate the smell/taste of eggs) just loved them. Gonna try with whole wheat flour. Super easy recipe sooo glad i found it.
glad you like it!
I googled the amount and used 3/4 cup of butter. They are delicious, and my daughter was over the moon for her first “real” chocolate chip cookies.
Thank you so much for this great recipe! It will be one of my new go-to treats for her. Yum!
I’m so happy that she enjoyed them!
I am so excited to try this recipe! My four year old daughter has an egg allergy and the two other recipes I have tried for chocolate chip cookies were an utter disappointment.
This may seem like a dumb question, but can you give me a traditional measurement (i.e., tablespoons or cups) for 180 grams of butter? Many thanks!
try doing a google search, usually there are sites that give you the conversions. I just weigh it out when the recipe calls for it, so I don”t know the conversions off hand.
Hi, i do not have sel rising flour in my pantry, can I use all purpose flour instead?
If you use all purpose you need to add the appropriate amount of baking powder and baking soda to make it like self rising flour. There are websites which will tell you the conversion
Roughly, how many cookies will b made out of this recipe?
If I remember correctly, it was about 2 dozen, maybe slightly more.
Thank you for sharing, I will have to try this.
@ Danile, who’s son has an egg allergy. Hi, My son is also allergic to eggs and I have tried some awesome recipes from the vegan chef Chloe and every single one I tried was awesome. Check her recipes here: https://chefchloe.com/
Take care! 🙂
Thanks for the rec!
Recipe sounds good. Am going to try this tonight for my eggless family – stay tuned for reviews. I’m just wondering how can we adjust the recipe to make a slightly gooey consistency? Thanks for your blog!
Hmm, these cookies are more like biscuit type cookies so I’m not sure you can achieve a gooey consistency that won’t just taste raw and not very good.
This is really amazing!! I love the result its really yummy as well
I like these too!
Should I use salted or unsalted butter?
unsalted! All my recipes used unsalted unless specified differently.
Thank you for this recipe. My four year old son has a severe egg allergy so I am constantly searching for egg-free cake and cookie recipes that we can do together and which don’t use weird or expensive ingredients. If you have any other egg-free recipes, we would really appreciate them. Many thanks.
If you do a search for “eggless” on my blog you should come with a few more recipes that I really liked.
5 ingredients?! That’s awesome! I made some chocolate covered cookie dough balls that had condensed milk but it never occurred to me to try to actually bake them. I wonder if the recipe was the same. I’m off to find out!
Let me know!
I’ve luckily never had coworkers with allergies, but if an egg allergy comes up it’ll be good to have this recipe on hand!
I haven’t either. But I do often get people leaving me comments asking me for an egg free recipe because they or their loved ones have egg allergies.
Where can you buy caster sugar? Or can I just grind up regular sugar to make it superfine?
You can grind up regular sugar, but honestly I just used regular granulated sugar and the recipe still worked. I should change that on the recipe.
I’m a big fan of cookies, and these one look great.
It’s a little different with the condensed milk and I love trying different twists on the classic
Love this recipe. It’s actually perfect for having the cookie dough by itself too, don’t you think?
You know I’m always afraid to eat raw cookie dough because of the eggs and I didn’t even think about trying this one while it was raw. But I just realized from your comment that I could have. I will definitely need to make a new batch and maybe do something with the cookie dough without baking it.
I’ve just bought a can of condensed milk… I think I now know how I want to use it!
Definitely give these a try! I was really happy with how the cookies turned out.
