Perfectly crispy, slightly chewy eggless chocolate chip cookies have a great nutty flavor from whole wheat flour and brown sugar. Not only are these delicious cookies a healthier treat, they are easy to make in just one bowl. Give them a try with my step by step photos and instructions, and I’m sure this will become your go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe!

Why This Recipe Works
These cookies are not the usual chocolate chip cookies. These are made with whole wheat flour which gives them a lovely nutty flavor. They are crisp and crunchy as well.
I have used stone-ground whole wheat flour. For health reasons, I use whole wheat flour in cookies and muffins. I do make whole wheat cookies and muffins at times since they are good and healthy. Of course, you could make these cookies with all purpose flour.
These chocolate chip cookies make for a nice sweet breakfast or evening snack for us with some warm milk or hot coffee. They can also be served in the tiffin box as a sweet side snack for kids.
This recipe is an easy one. Right from prepping and making the cookie dough it takes about 20 minutes, excluding the shaping, refrigeration and baking time.
These eggless cookies can be served plain or topped on an ice cream, custard or pudding.

How to Make Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
Making cookie dough
This easy recipe only needs one bowl, and warm cookies are ready to enjoy in less than an hour.
1. In a mixing bowl take 100 grams unsalted butter, ¼ cup tightly packed brown sugar (50 grams), ¼ cup raw sugar (50 grams), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ cup milk. Also, grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper.

2. Using a wired whisk or an electric beater begin to mix and whip the ingredients.

3. Whip till the butter becomes nicely soft and fluffy.

4. Place a sieve on top of the bowl. Add 1.25 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and ⅛ teaspoon salt in the sieve. Make sure that the bottom of the sieve does not touch the whipped butter. You can also sift the flour separately and then add to the bowl.

5. With a spatula, gently begin to fold the sifted flour into the whipped butter.
Fold well. The cookie dough will be sticky.

6. Add ½ cup chocolate chips.

7. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough. Cover and refrigerate dough for 15 to 20 minutes.

8. Now you can either take a portion of dough and lightly roll or flatten on tray – or use a cookie press or a scoop a tablespoon from the dough.
If rolling in your palms, then roll gently with light pressure from your hands. You can flatten the cookies if you want but without flattening too much as the cookie will spread while baking.

9. Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 190 degrees celsius (374 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes. For an OTG, keep both the heating elements on.
After 20 minutes of refrigeration, place the tray with the cookies in the center of the oven.

10. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or till edges turn golden or brown. Do not bake for too long as then cookies will harden up.

11. Using a spatula, remove the cookies from the tray and place them on a wired rack. Let the cookies cool completely before storing or serving.

12. Serve eggless chocolate chip cookies with milk for kids, coffee for adults or just as a delicious sweet snack.
