Instructions
Making cookie dough
- In a mixing bowl take unsalted butter, brown sugar, raw sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Grease a baking tray or line it with a parchment paper.
- Using a wired whisk or an electric beater begin to mix and whip the ingredients.
- Whip till the butter becomes nicely soft and fluffy.
- Place a sieve on top of the bowl. Add whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt into the sieve. Make sure that the bottom of the sieve does not touch the whipped butter. You can also sift the flour separately.
- With a spatula, gently begin to fold the sifted flour into the whipped butter.
- Fold really well but do not knead. Bring all the ingredients to form a neat dough. Keep in mind that the cookie dough will be sticky.
- If the dough looks dry and crumbly, add in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or as needed. Gently mix and bring together to a cohesive dough.If the dough is very sticky or too moist or loose, add a few tablespoons of whole wheat flour.
- Add chocolate chips.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
- Cover and refrigerate dough to chill for 20 to 30 minutes.
Shaping
- After the dough is chilled, 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 even without flattening the cookie will spread while baking.
- Keep some space around the cookies as they flatten while baking.
Making Chocolate chip cookies
- Preheat oven at 190 degrees celsius (374 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes. For an OTG, keep both the heating elements on. Place the cookie tray in the center of the oven.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or till edges turn golden or brown. Do not bake for long as the cookies will harden.
- 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.
- Serve Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies as a sweet snack.

Notes
- Flour: For a more lighter version of these cookies, replace the whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour.
- Chocolate chips: I have used semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can add bittersweet, milk, dark or white chocolate chips and even peanut butter chips.
- Salted butter: You can add salted butter, but omit the additional salt from the recipe.
- Sugar: If using granulated sugar, then use the one with finer crystals. Do not directly add granulated sugar with large crystals but powder it and use. You could also use castor sugar or confectioner's sugar.
- Chilling the dough: Make sure to chill the dough in the refrigerator. A chilled dough does not spread too much while baking.
- Servings & scaling: This recipe will make about 18 to 20 medium sized cookies. Depending upon the size of the cookie, the numbers will vary. If you make large cookies, you will get about 10 to 12 cookies. You can scale this recipe to double or triple the servings.
- Storing: Keep eggless chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Make ahead: You can make this dough and keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days in a covered container, or freeze for up to 3 months. If freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer bag. Allow the cookie dough to thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
