- 1 Cup All-purpose flour (Maida)
- 1/4 Cup Unsalted butter
- 1/4 Cup Chocolate chips
- 6 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/4 Tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 Tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla essence
- 2 Tbsp Milk
- In a bowl, sieve the all-purpose flour (maida), baking powder, and baking soda together. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In another mixing bowl, add softened butter and sugar. Whisk the mixture until it becomes creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla essence and chocolate chips to the creamy butter and sugar mixture.
- Gradually add the dry mixture (maida, baking soda, and baking powder) to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Crumble the mixture nicely with your hands.Note: I used mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, and since they were at room temperature, they started to mash into the dough. To prevent this, gently mix in the chocolate chips and add a few more on top after flattening the dough for a better appearance.
- Preheat your oven to 170°C for 5 minutes.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 3 cm in diameter. Gently flatten each ball slightly. Be careful not to flatten them too much, or they may turn into crispy biscuits instead of soft and chewy cookies.
- Place the flattened dough balls on a baking tray and bake at 170°C for about 12 minutes.Note:These cookies spread out a lot during baking, so be sure to leave enough space between them on the baking sheet to allow for spreading without sticking together.
The cookies are done when the base turns golden brown. The tops will remain white, which is normal. Switch off the oven at this point.
Let your eggless chocolate chip cookies cool down a bit before enjoying their deliciousness!
Expert Tips for Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Sugar Substitution: You can replace half of the normal sugar with brown sugar to enhance the flavor and moisture of your eggless chocolate chip cookies.
- Chocolate Chip Quantity: Be mindful of how many chocolate chips you add. Too many can make your eggless chocolate chip cookies taste bitter.
- Baking Time: Avoid overcooking the eggless chocolate chip cookies, as this can lead to a bitter taste. It took 12 minutes in my oven, but baking times may vary depending on your oven's capacity.
- Alternative to Choco Chips: If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use small pieces of chocolate bars instead. Just chop them into small bits and mix them into the dough for your eggless chocolate chip cookies.
- Texture: These eggless chocolate chip cookies will have a crispy outer layer with a soft and chewy inside—just the way a perfect cookie should be!
- Baking Soda and Powder: Since the dough contains baking soda and baking powder, it’s best not to let it sit for too long before baking. Bake your eggless chocolate chip cookies immediately for the best results.
