Introduction in Alex Guarnaschelli’s Writing Style:

Hey there, Kitchies! Let’s talk about the magic of cookies—but not just any cookies. These are Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies, and trust me, you won’t miss the eggs one bit. They’re chewy, buttery, with just the right amount of crisp edges and those glorious gooey chocolate chips in every bite.

I stumbled upon this recipe one day when I ran out of eggs (who hasn’t been there, right?). But what started as a happy accident turned into one of my absolute favorite cookie recipes. The secret? A splash of milk keeps them soft and chewy, while a little extra brown sugar gives them that rich, caramel-like flavor we all love in a good cookie.

Exciting Story:

The first time I made these Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies, it was purely out of necessity. I was halfway through mixing the batter when I realized—I was out of eggs! Instead of panicking, I swapped in a little milk, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best. When they came out of the oven, the whole house smelled like heaven.

My husband took one bite, looked at me, and said, “You HAVE to make these again.” Now, they’re a family favorite. The kids love dunking them in cold milk, and I love sneaking one (or two!) with my afternoon coffee. It’s amazing how a simple little tweak turned into a recipe we can’t live without.
