eggless chocolate chip cookies recipe – sharing a step by step recipe of making a really easy one bowl healthy eggless chocolate cookie recipe.
these cookies are not the usual crisp and chewy cookies. they have a cake like soft texture and a bit of chewiness. they are slightly crisp from out and soft from the center. the chocolate chip cookies are made from whole wheat flour or atta. the flour which we use for making rotis. you can also check this eggless chocolate chip muffins recipe.
i have used chakki ground atta here. you can also make them from all purpose flour/maida. 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. these also 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. few more cookies recipes on blog are:
- gingerbread cookies
- nankhatai
- coconut cookies
- tutti frutti cookies
- orange crinkle cookies
- eggless butter cookies.
this chocolate chip cookie recipe is quick one and there is no waiting period like keeping the cookie dough in the fridge. right from mixing everything to preparing the dough it takes about 20 minutes, excluding the baking time.
these eggless cookies can be served plain or used as toppings on ice creams like vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream or choco chip ice cream or pista ice cream or on custards or puddings.

eggless chocolate chip cookies recipe below:

- 2 tablespoon oil (sunflower or rice bran or olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon curd (dahi or yogurt)
- 6 to 7 tablespoon whole milk (the quantity can be added more or less depending on the quality of flour)
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or essence
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (atta) or 130 grams whole wheat flour
- 3 tablespoon organic unrefined cane sugar or regular sugar. you can also add as required (for a just about sweet taste 2.5 tablespoon works well. for a more sweeter taste - add 3 tablespoon. for less sweetness, add 2 tablespoon)
- 2 tablespoon chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- a pinch of salt
- preheat your regular oven to 200 degrees celsius/390 degrees fahrenheit for about 10 minutes before you bake the cookies. for a microwave oven use the convection mode and preheat at 180 degrees celsius/350 degrees fahrenheit.
- in a bowl take all the wet ingredients - milk, curd/yogurt, oil, vinegar and vanilla extract.
- add sugar and whisk the mixture till the sugar is dissolved.
- directly seive whole wheat flour/atta, baking soda and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture.
- add chocolate chips.
- mix everything first with a spatula or with your hands.
- then gently gather the whole mixture and form a dough. don't knead the mixture. the dough is slightly sticky.
- if the dough feels very sticky, then add few tbsp of flour and mix again. if dry, then add a few tbsp of milk.
make small or medium sized balls of the dough and flatten them a bit. these chocolate chip cookies don't flatten too much while baking.
so if you want a flat cookie, then flatten them with your hands. spread some oil on your hands while shaping the cookies. place the cookies in a greased tray.
bake chocolate chip cookies in the preheated oven at 200 degrees celsius/390 degrees fahrenheit for 15 to 25 minutes or till the cookies are golden.
just keep an eye when the cookie are getting baked in the oven. keep the tray in the center rack with both the top and bottom heating elements on.
for a microwave oven in the convection mode, use 180 degrees celsius/350 degrees fahrenheit for baking the chocolate chip cookies. if you have made thin and flat cookies, they will get baked faster.
- remove when still hot and place them on a wired rack
- once cooled, serve them immediately or store in an air tight jar or box. serve these eggless chocolate chip cookies with milk or coffee.
- instead of oil you can also use same amount of melted butter.

Urvi Sharma says
Idk maybe my microwave is different but it’s manual suggests time for convection mode to be set at 50 minutes. And i don’t think you specified the time for microwave so should it be the same as the time for oven? (15-25minutes)
Also I can’t really tell if the cookies are cooked or not. I baked them for like 12-13minutes but they haven’t turned golden but have become a bit hard. Please help.
dassana amit says
for convection mode of microwave oven, preheating time is 15 minutes. its same as that for a regular oven. the time of baking will differ though as each oven has a different temperature. but generally in a microwave oven the baking is faster due to the fan in it.
you can press the cookies with a spoon or your fingertips. it there is no impression on them, then it means the cookies are baked. be careful when pressing with fingers as the cookies are hot. if the cookies are baked too much, they will turn hard.
Anita Dutta says
Hello! The outer part of my cookie has become very hard and the inner part is as soft as a cake. What should I do?
dassana amit says
Anita, now nothing can be done. it seems the cookies have become too much baked from the top. when baking cookies, don’t keep the baking tray close to the top heating rod.
Aishwarya says
Can i use butter instead of oil? If yes please let me know the proportion to be used. Im making it for my daughter.
dassana amit says
Aishwarya, yes you can use butter. use same amount of melted butter.
Sandhya says
Hello! Just wanted to check if we can add jaggery instead of sugar in this recipe?. Thanks!
dassana amit says
Welcome Sandhya. Yes you can.
ishit shah says
Hey if i want to make 20-25 cookies at a time should i double the qauntity or should i make 2 batches
dassana amit says
just double the ingredients proportionately.
Nisha says
Hi…I just love all your recipes…Your site is the first place I go to,when I make vegetarian food…would love to make this for my little one…just wanted to know how many days the cookies will last when kept in airtight container at normal temperature?
dassana amit says
thanks nisha. in this cookies, since curd is used, its best to refrigerate them. at room temperature you can keep for a max 2 to 3 days in an airtight box or jar.
Gayathri says
Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe..I tried and come out very wel
dassana amit says
Welcome Gayathri. Glad to read your positive feedback.
Swayamprava says
Hi,
Can I use baking powder as a substitute for baking soda?
dassana amit says
you can use baking soda.
Seema says
Hi ,
have tried the recipe and skipped vinegar(as it wasnt avaiable).. I am using LG model.. Preheated the oven at 180 degree and cooked for 20 minutes.. its very hard… My only question is in convention mode how long should we bake? 40min?
dassana amit says
seema, oven temperatures vary. usually convection ovens bakes faster than OTG. so you can bake for less time like 10 to 15 minutes. also i hope you have only used the convection mode and combination mode of microwave and convection.if combination mode is used than the cookies will become hard.
depending on the recipe you are making, cut down 10 to 15 minutes less when baking in convection mode. either cut down the time or reduce the temperature by 10 to 15 degrees.
AYSHWARYA PRABHAKAR says
Hi can I skip curd.. what can I substitute for curd
dassana amit says
AYSHWARYA, curd is required in the recipe.
Nandini says
I love your recipes…aI regularly bake these cookies for my toddler as it is soft and not brisk like regular cookies and my toddler likes it. Instead of sugar I used organic jaggery and it came out very well. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful recipe.
dassana amit says
Thanks Nandini for sharing positive feedback on cookies. Nice to know this.
Neha says
Hiiii dasanna… I just love ur recipes and d way to present it is just great…one doubt I want to use butter instead of oil…what are the changes I have to make in d recipe…and baking duration in microwave convection type..
Thanks
Neha
dassana amit says
Welcome Neha. Thanks for your kind words. You can bake the cookies at 180 degree celsius. timing will vary from oven to oven. so can’t say.
k says
This recipe is superb – my cookies got burnt and hard the first time – but now i have a hang of it. Have a special request to make – I want recipe for wholewheat eggless oats and raisin cookies.. Kindly post if possible.
dassana amit says
thanks k. i have noted down the recipe request and will try to add these cookies in some months.
MS says
What temperature should I bake the cookies in if I’m using a microwave?
dassana amit says
you can use 180 degrees celsius. i have mentioned in recipe card. but bake only in the convection mode of microwave oven.
Visalakshi says
Your recipes are awesome. I ‘ve tried your regular atta cookies also. They came out very good, just crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Kids loved them. Just want to clarify one issue. When I set my otg on baking mode only the bottom element comes on. You have mentioned that both should be on. How should I do that?
dassana amit says
thanks visalakshi. glad to know. in baking mode, the bottom element is on. in toast mode, both the elements are on. so for baking, you can use the toast mode. i also use it at times for some recipes like cookies and cakes.
Shilpa says
Hi!
It’s an awesome recipe. I would like to clarify if it’s okay to use canola oil or butter.
Thanks!
dassana amit says
Welcome Shilpa. Don’t use canola oil. I would suggest to use butter instead of canola oil. I have not read positive things about canola oil in internet.
Amandeep kaur says
Thanks a ton for the easiest , tastiest and most importantly healthier version of cookies ?
dassana amit says
Welcome Amandeep
Manjunath Ramaswamy says
Hi,
I tried the recipe today but the cookies came out very hard i do not know what went wrong,
the sweetness was very low i think i just added 2/12/ table spoons of sugar.
Can please tell me in grams for the sugar, coco,etc.
However i love all your recipes and i have tried many it was par excellence.
Please let me know about the cookies becos I want to perfect it.
Thanks,
Regards.
dassana amit says
thanks manjunath. either the cookies have been baked too much or the dough was not mixed very well. i will try to update the recipe with grams equivalents.
bhumika says
Hi
Love all your recipes..Was planning to make these wonderful chocolate chip cookies.Could you please tell me how to make them crispy like we get them at cookie shops.
dassana amit says
bhumika, for crispiness the recipe will change a lot. since i always test and add recipes, i will try to add the crisp and chewy version of choco chips cookies soon.
Neha Jain says
Hello,
I always love your receipes. They are so easy and convenient to make.
I was planning on making the Chocolate cookies and couldn’t find the receipe for one. So following this receipe – could tell me how much cocoa powder do i need to add instead of chocolate chip cookies?
dassana amit says
thanks neha. i have not yet posted chocolate cookies recipe. you can add 1 to 2 tbsp cocoa powder. you will need to add some more milk to bind the dough.
shaila verma says
heya! i tried making this in the oven and they turned out to be very cakey not crunchy! and also they were looking like small choco chip baatis ? . will you tell me which step went wrong ?
dassana amit says
shaila, the recipe is for cakey and soft cookies. these are not crunchy cookies. i have already mentioned this in the post. the recipe ingredients are such that they will give a soft texture in the cookies. no step of yours has gone wrong.
Aravinda says
Hi
Can we multiply the ingredients proportionally for more number of cookies?
Thanks!
dassana amit says
yes you can.
ARavinda says
So to make ten times this number I can just increase al ingredients ten times? Just double checking as with baking, usually it doesn’t work. Thanks for your prompt response!
dassana amit says
yes. usually with baking doubling on increasing the recipe works. this is true for cookies, pies, breads and laminated doughs like croissant, puff pastries etc. but for cake can be tricky.
Disha says
What temperature should I bake the cookies in if I m using an OTG instead of oven??
dassana amit says
same temperature as i have used an OTG.
Jhb says
Cookies came out hard. Sugar is also not suffice 🙁
dassana amit says
looks like they got baked too much. too much baking will make them hard. the temperatures in oven vary, so baking can take less or more time. sugar depends on individual taste preferences. you can also sprinkle some powdered sugar from above, if the cookies had come out well.
preet says
Can you make a Vegan version of this recipe pleaaase!
dassana amit says
instead of curd, add vinegar or lemon juice. i suggest to overall add 1/2 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice. instead of milk, use almond or cashew milk or any nut based milk.
Pragya says
Is the 3 tbspn sugar powdered sugar or granulated one?
dassana amit says
granulated one.
Janhavi P says
Great & easy recipe. But the dough I made became sticky. I tried adding extra flour, oil. But it didn’t help. What might be the problem? And solution?
dassana amit says
for sticky dough, just addition of some flour should solve the issue. no need to add oil. some more flour could have corrected the problem.
Prachi says
Hi, recently tried out alot of ur recipes n they turn out really well.. Thnx a ton… I wanted to knw if we can make these cookies with a microwave with a grill and combi type..I don’t hv convection mode..
dassana amit says
welcome prachi. i don’t think so you can make this way. however i have never tried making them in microwave.
Sowmya says
I followed your recipe, baked in my microwave in convection mode for 20 mins. The cookies were crisp initially. But the next day, the cookies became very soft. Any idea why?
dassana amit says
sowmya, these are soft cookies. so they will become soft. i have mentioned about the cookies being soft in the post.
Manasi says
Is vinegar compulsory to use. Please tell me another option for vinegar.
dassana amit says
manasi, you can skip the vinegar.
aarthi says
I made these today.. They came out very well.. More like muffins with a crust than cookies i should say.. I have been searching for something like this to give to my toddler who can’t really chew but likes biscuits.. Thank you so much..
dassana amit says
welcome always aarthi and glad to know you liked the muffins 🙂 thankyou for your kind and positive words.
sona says
Hi D.Amit
Hope u r good. Just wanna know if anyway can I make this baked recipes without a microwave, as I don’t have any ?. But I am very much interested to prepare the muffins n cookies n the yummy cake that you have posted
dassana amit says
sona, these cookies can be made in a thick bottomed griddle or tawa. but the cookies made on tawa become soft. cakes and muffins can also be made in the pressure cooker. i am sharing two links where i have made cheese cookies on a tawa and pav in the cooker. you can check them and the method of cooking cookies on tawa or cakes/muffins in pressure cooker is same. with these chocolate chips cookies, the chocolate will melt and stick to the tawa.

Abhilasha Dave says
thanks dear for providing such a useful site for us
whatever i try from this it always turns out fabulously delicious.
i just wanted ask one think how to make these cookies crunchier from inside too as we find in market ones
dassana amit says
welcome abhilasha. for the crunchy cookies, you will need butter. you need to beat butter first and then add the sugar and other ingredients. the recipe will change and so the ingredients.
Neha Jain says
Could give us a receipe for crunchier cookies?
dassana amit says
i will add a crisp and crunchy choice chip recipe in some time.
Monika says
Hi.
I love your recipes..and these cookies look super delicious.
Can you please tell me if I could substitute chocolate chips with normal chocolate cut into small pieces as I don’t have chocolate chips at home
Thanx
dassana amit says
yes you can chop the normal chocolate in small pieces and then add.
Jaya says
In a microwave convection oven is it good enough if the oven goes upto 200 degrees? Just got a new one and realised that it was upto 200 degrees. Also, is there any timing difference between a regular OTG and a convection microwave? Can convection microwaves also bake for a long time without getting overheated?
dassana amit says
even the oven i have has 200 degrees celsius as the max temperature. in a OTG the baking is slower as compared to in the convection mode of the microwave oven. so either you reduce the temper by 12 to 20 degrees less or reduce the time by 15 to 20 minutes. i have only baked in the convection mode maximum for about 40 minutes. not more than that. so not sure about the overheating part.
Swechha says
Hi…cookies r yummy….I have a small doubt. ..u have used aluminum dish…can I bake aluminum in microwave convection oven..I have these 3 aluminium vessels which came with cooker. can I use these? Or I should test it? How?
dassana amit says
swechha, i am not sure about the aluminium vessels which came with cooker, if they can be used in the oven. the aluminum pans i have is basically meant for baking only. thus they withstand the high heat during baking. in the convection mode, you can use aluminium pans, but not in the microwave or combination mode. if in the convection mode, you see sparks coming from the pan (called as arcing), then don’t use aluminium pan. if this thing happens, then it means there is a fault in the oven.
Swechha says
Hmm…Thank you very much…
dassana amit says
welcome swechha.
Preeti says
Thanks a lot

Saee says
Hey.. I made the recipe.. the cookies taste great.. however they are not crispy. They are soft, like a hardened cake.
where did i go wrong?
I added 7 tbsp milk and then added 1 extra tbsp flour and used greek yogurt
Please help 🙂
dassana amit says
the cookies are soft and have a cake like texture. but are not hard. i have mentioned in the post too. they are not that much crisp like the ready made choco chip cookies.

Rupali says
Hi Dassana,
i m a big fan of your blog. Your recipes are very simple and easy to make. Thanks a ton for your efforts! I have a question regarding these cookies and chocolate cake. Can i add eggs in both these recipes? Will that help in making coikies more crunchier and cake more spongy? If yes, then how many eggs to be added and at what step?
Thanks in advance
dassana amit says
adding eggs in the chocolate cake and cookies will change the whole recipe as i have used egg substitutes in place of eggs. so i am unable to help you in these recipes as the entire recipe changes.
parul says

Surya says
Hi,
I have followed most of your north indian dishes and it has turned out well. I am planning to bake cookies for my 2.5 yr old son and went through your recipe. Since I am going to bake cookies for the first time, I have a doubt. Will baking powder help in baking the cookies perfect. I went through so many recipes for cookies and most of it had baking powder and baking soda. So could you help me out with this.
dassana amit says
thanks surya for your positive feedback. addition of baking powder or baking soda depends from recipe to recipe.

Ritu says
Hi,
I tried these cookies,but did not get satisfactory results.
I m new in baking,so just want to know my mistake,for good results in future.
I followed every step with mentioned quantity,lighted both rods(top+bottom) ,rack was in centre only.
When baked for 15 min it was soft from top,so baked again for 10 min but this time lighted only top rod as it was cooked from bottom already.
The texture from top and bottom was crunchy enough but from inside it was like bit raw.i did not know what went wrong,if I would bake it again it will get burnt
dassana amit says
hi ritu. thanks for writing in detail the problem you faced. if you bake for some more minutes it will not burn. i think the center was not baked. you could have just kept if for some more time for baking, like 3 to 4 minutes more.
varsha sunar says
Almost maine 40 min bake kiya tha.or wo nichese burn ho gaye or upperse ye kache atte ki tarah the.
dassana amit says
varsha, where did you kept the cookie tray? was it kept near the bottom heating rod in the oven? did you kept the top heating rod Off? ideally the tray has to be kept in the center rack with the both (top and bottom) heating rods ON. if you keep it touching the bottom heating rod then it will get burn from down and top will not be brown as in your case. the top and bottom heating rod has to be ON and tray should be kept in the center rack of the oven.
varsha sunar says
Maine ye cookies try ki step to step but naram atta jaise hi thi. kya mistake ho gae.
dassana amit says
varsha, they are soft in texture as mentioned in the post also. but not very soft. may be you needed to bake for some more time. you can bake the cookies now also for some more minutes. the baking temperature varies from oven to oven.
gouri says
Hi
Today only I tried sarson ka saag n makki di roti from ur site n turned out awesome. Thank u so much for the lovely recipe n photo efforts.
Tom m planning to make choc chip cookies so just wanted to know if
1. I can add coco powder for extra chocolaty cookies
2. If yes then how much quantity shud b added.
dassana amit says
thanks gouri for the feedback on both makki di roti and sarson da saag. i also made today makki ki roti but served with amaranth leaves sabzi. yes you can add cocoa powder. you can add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder. 2 tbsp also you can add, which will give a darker color. you will have to increase the amount of milk a bit so that the dough is not dry. about 1 to 2 tbsp more of the milk needs to be added.
narmada says
the recipe is very nice and simple.. But is it necessary to use vinegar?
dassana amit says
thanks narmada. you can add same quantity of lemon juice instead of vinegar.
Bhakti Dange says
Nice recipe..going to try it soon…just wanted to know 2 things:
1. Can we use eno salt instead of baking soda?
2. When baking in the middle rack, do you still keep the crumb tray in your otg? I’m asking this bcoz the last time that I had baked cookies they had blackened from the bottom!
dassana amit says
thanks bhakti.
1. i do not know if eno salt can be used. so i cannot say. also i have never tried making any cake with it.
2. yes i do keep the crumb tray at the bottom.
Sharvari says
Hi…good afternoon dassana….my oven is gone for repair …..n I wanted to try the above cookies…..today….becoz my small n cute little niece is coming to my place 2morrow…..so I wish …I will surprise her by giving her fav chocolate cookies…..so just wanna ask u that ….can I able to cook the cookies without oven……
dassana amit says
sharvari, you can try on a tawa/skillet. but they will be softer than the oven baked ones. they will not be crisp. cook on a low flame. heat the griddle first, brush some oil or butter on tawa. place the cookies. cover the tawa with the lid. once the base is cooked then turn and cook the other side.
Lavina says
hey! I bought an OTG almost 2 years back.. But I have to admit, I have started making adequate use of it, only after accidentally ( and fortunately) landing up here 🙂
Have tried a few cakes… aren’t perfect yet but I’m sure they’ll be fine in a few more attempts. The best part(s) of your recipes : 1) Liberal use of healthy ingredients 2) using ingredients that are easily available!
I’ll get back soon after I try out these cookies! eep these awesome recipes coming!!
dassana amit says
thanks a lot lavina. an idle oven is not good 🙂 there are many things you can bake in the oven. baking is creative, satisfying as well as therapeutic too. i have to use ingredients which are easily available as these are the ingredients which i get here 🙂 do try these cookies and happy baking.
san says

rachanaraman says

urvythewizard says
These cookies are so damn GOOD!
dassana amit says
thanks urvythewizard
Dr Amruta Lele says
Thanks for wonderful recipe..i tried to make the cookies…but the cookies became very soft from above
dassana amit says
soft from above means that the cookies needed to bake more. a bit of browning would also have been fine.
prajwal says
hii cann anyone pls help mee actually where i live i cant get any choco chips so can i use ordinary chocalate…..??
dassana amit says
you can use dairy milk chocolate. just chop them into small pieces. even dairy milk’s dark chocolate or any other brand of chocolate can be added.
Resham says
First of all, thanks a lot for the wonderful recipes that you post. This is one of the best websites for veg recipes and your efforts are helping out so so many people!
Though I do get soft centred cookies sometimes the same has been answered by you in above comments, so I’ll make sure I store it in air tight containers.
One thing I want to ask, if a cookie recipe calls for eggs… how do I replace the eggs? Replacement and it’s quantity.
Thanks again for you efforts. See if you can answer my queries.
dassana amit says
thanks a lot resham. usually i replace eggs with the following – yogurt/curd, milk, flax seed powder, corn starch, besan/gram flour. so depending on the recipe, you can change the ingredients. generally these substitutions only work for 2 eggs. if the recipe has more than 2 eggs than it becomes difficult to substitute.
sanna says
All your recipes r so good and u made it so easy…I.will love to make it…
dassana amit says
thanks sanna
grishma says

white chocolate chips should not turn brown. the cookies will puff up a bit. the center must be raw as the cookies were not baked thoroughly. if you would have kept for some more minutes, the center would have got baked too.
grishma says
Pls tell me how to ensure that the white chocolate chip don’t get browned. Also can I use all purpose flour(maida) instead of wheat flour.
Thanks

even if they get browned, it will be just light browned. i have seen white chocolate chips cookies before and the chocolate chips were not dark browned. must be something to do with the quality of chips. you can make this recipe with maida too. but i think, you will have to add a bit more maida.

I just tried these cookies – my 1st attempt in baking cookies… it came out pretty well. I baked for 25mins and got a nice dark colour as well. I was pretty satisfied with the result. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside! The best part is that the cookies are made of whole wheat and much healthier than store bought ones!! Can these be kept in an air tight box at room temp for about 10-12 days? Or is it better to refrigerate them after a couple of days?
dassana amit says
good to know nivedita, that your first attempt in baking cookies is a success. you have to keep them in an air tight box, otherwise they will soften. i would suggest to keep the cookies in the refrigerator. but if its cold in your place, like winter is going on in most parts of india, then you can keep at room temperature for the number of days you have mentioned.
Rani says
I mean homemade chocolate recipe.
dassana amit says
okay. they are pretty easy to prepare. all one needs is a good quality chocolate slab. either dark chocolate or milk chocolate. then with flavorings one can make chocolate the way one wants. i have not yet added this method. hope to do soon.
rani says

Aarti says
Hi… I tried baking these cookies n they turned out super delicious n crunchy from outside too… but the next day they became soft. Can u plz tell me what went wrong?
dassana amit says
did you store them in an air tight box once they got cooled down? this could be the reason they got more soft.

Hello,
I tried making the cookies but at 200 degree Celsius for 15 min it got burnt. Then I tried at 180 degree and it was half cooked…the atta was not baked.
Also I tried making brown bread, the crust was super hard and uncooked from inside..
please help…

dassana amit says
oven temperatures vary with various makes and models. did you use OTG or convection mode of microwave oven. when you keep anything to bake in an oven at any temperature, its always better of you keep an eye on the stuff getting baked. at 180 degrees, if you would have kept for some more time, then the cookies would have got baked well. for bread, if the temperature is uniform in the oven, then the baking is even and thorough. even if the dough is not kneaded properly or leavened, then you may get a hard crust.
Sashiya says
Hi dassana,
I just tried the cookie, tasted them and writing this now.. They are totally tasty.. Usually healthy dishes do not taste good, but these cookies are sooo good.. thanks for your good work, keep up !!
dassana amit says
thanks sashiya. good to know you are enjoying these eggless choco chip cookies. most of the times, we feel that tasty food is not healthy. but at the same time, we can create dishes which are tasty as well as healthy.
sathyapriya says
That’s a fantastic cookie dassana.How many days can we store the cookies ?Got curious because you added milk in it .
dassana amit says
thanks. since not a lot of quantity is made, they get over soon 🙂 about 10 to 12 days is fine, i suppose.
sinchana says

How to make without oven……
dassana amit says
these can only be made in an oven. there is way to make on tava too, but the recipe has to change in some parts.
Anjali Rana says
My heartiest thanks goes to Dassana Amit for helping so many amateurs like me by publishing these wonderful recipes. The best part is that I can find recipes which are healthy and tasty at the same time especially the wholewheat cakes and cookies. I had logged in to write one recipe only but ended up writing 4. Keep up the good work.
dassana amit says
thanks again anjali. do try these cake and cookies recipes. they are good.
Stefania says
Wow this looks great. I can’t believe how healthy you got chocolate chip cookies to be! Usually cookie recipes use so much sugar and brown sugar and the yield is so big… This will be great for my small household. Thanks.
dassana amit says
thanks stefania for the feedback. do try the recipe 🙂
Stefania says
Hi again.. I tried these and they turned out tasty, but the bottoms turned black. We still ate them, though. But in the future, do you think lower oven temperature is better? I did 15 min at 390F. Maybe 375F for a little longer? Just wanted your advice since you are the pro. 🙂
dassana amit says
thanks for the feedback stefania. lower temperature will work. when i bake cookies, i keep them in the center rack. as when i keep them at the bottom touching the lower heating element, they get dark and browned from the bottom. btw i keep both the top and bottom heating elements on while baking.
Usha Ramesh says
Hi…awesome recipe…why do we add vinegar??? is there an alternative for that one? like lime juice? if yes, how much?
Also are we not adding Baking Powder??
Lastly, why atta?can we use maida instead??
Pls help
dassana amit says
thanks usha.
1. you can add same quantity of lemon juice instead of vinegar.
2. we are not adding baking powder but adding baking soda.
3. yes you can use maida instead of atta.
