I absolutely love baking cookies without eggs! They are usually softer and chewier than cookies with eggs! Did I just blow your mind?

Eggs are made up of mostly egg whites, and egg whites are made up of water. And water dies out baked goods. So, cookies made without eggs can actually be softer! And more importantly, stay soft and chewy longer than cookies made with eggs! If you like baking without eggs, be sure to check out my book Effortless Eggless Baking.

Ingredients

  • Butter: I use Organic Valley Salted Butter, which is my go to. You can use unsalted if you prefer, just add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the dough.
  • Light Brown Sugar: I use my homemade light brown sugar recipe, but store bought also works.
  • Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar.
  • Vanilla Extract: My favorite is Simply Organic, be sure to use a high quality vanilla extract.
  • Milk: I use milk in place of eggs. Be sure to use whole milk, as you want the fat for flavor and lower fat milks have more water! You can also use coconut milk if you want a dairy free option.
  • All Purpose Flour: My favorite is Cairnspring Mills.
  • Oats: I use organic rolled oats. If you’re making these gluten free, just be sure to use gluten free oats.
  • Cinnamon: Organic cinnamon gives these cookies a nostalgic cozy spice to them.
  • Baking Soda: I use baking soda because this is a quick rise confection and it has an acid (brown sugar). Be sure to check out my post the Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder for more info on leavening agents.
  • Salt: Use a fine sea salt for the dough.
  • Cranberries: I use organic dried cranberries for little bursts of sweet and tart in every bite.
  • Chocolate Chips: I use organic dark chocolate chips as I love the contrast of the rich dark chocolate with the sweet cranberries.

Tools Needed

  • Scale: Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
  • Stand Mixer: I use my stand mixer for ease, but you can also use a hand mixer if you prefer. You can even use a bowl with a wooden spoon, this recipe is super flexible.
  • Baking Sheets: You'll need two two half sheet pans to bake the cookies.
  • Parchment Paper: I always use nontoxic parchment paper as I think cookies bake best with parchment paper.

    When do you add the cinnamon?

    • mimibakescookies says:

      hi Gia! Sorry about that, I have updated the post, the cinnamon is added into the dry ingredients with the flour and oats 🙂 Enjoy!

  2. Gia M Tonic says:

    Also, your ingredients list notes ‘light’ brown sugar, however the instructions say ‘dark’

    • mimibakescookies says:

      It’s light 🙂 I was copy/pasting instructions from another oatmeal cookie recipe to save time, that’s how these typos got in there. Thank you so much for catching! But, you could also use dark brown sugar as well, either will work, you’ll just have a darker color and flavor if you go with dark brown.

  3. Anjlai says:

    Hi! Can you use fresh cranberries ?

    • Mimi Council says:

      hi Anjlai, no you don’t want to use fresh cranberries as fresh fruit can have too much moisture. If you don’t have dried cranberries, you can substitute them with dried blueberries or raisins! Happy baking!
