I love baking eggless cookies! As someone who eats eggs, I really enjoy eggless cookies even more than cookies with eggs! Why?
While eggs are crucial in many recipes for certain properties, like their ability to whip up into meringue in Strawberry French Macarons, for example. They are truly not needed for all cookies, especially soft and chewy cookies. And I even prefer eggless cookies when I make soft and chewy cookies!
I talk about this more in my book, Effortless Eggless Baking. But the short of it is, eggs are made up of mostly egg whites. And egg whites are made up of water and water can dry out baked goods. So, when baking soft and chewy cookies, eggs can actually dry them out quicker than cookies without eggs. So, when you bake eggless cookies, your cookies will stay soft and chewy longer!

Naturally Colored: I use plant-based sprinkles for naturally color cookies you can feel good about enjoying. I use two different kinds of India Tree Nature’s Colors sprinkles in these soft baked sprinkle cookies. I link them both below in the ingredients.

Ingredients
- Butter: I use Organic Valley Salted Butter. You can use unsalted, just add 1/4 teaspoon of salt if you are doing that.
- Cane Sugar: I use organic cane sugar for these classic sugar cookies.
- Vanilla Extract: My favorite is Simply Organic. Be sure to use a high quality organic vanilla extract you like the flavor of as it really shines through in these simple cookies.
- Milk: You can use any kind of milk in these cookies, cow's milk, coconut, almond, or oat milk all work!
- All Purpose Flour: My favorite is Cairnspring Mills.
- Baking Powder: I use baking powder in these cookies because there is no acid, don't use baking soda. For more info on the difference, be sure to check out my post the Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder.
- Salt: I use a fine sea salt.
- Sprinkles: I use two different kinds of naturally colored sprinkles, India Tree Nature's Colors Carnival Sprinkles and India Tree Nature's Colors Nonpareils. These are both made with plant based dyes!

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.
- Baking Sheets: You'll need two half sheet pans to bake the cookies.
- Parchment Paper: My favorite nontoxic parchment paper is Kana. I always use it for ease, cleanup, and I think it bakes the best cookies.

Baker's Tips
- Use soft butter! No matter if you are using vegan butter or regular butter, having it soft is key for these cookies.
- While I use milk here, you can use any kind. Cow’s milk, coconut milk, almond milk — they all will work! Use your preference.
- You can use chocolate sprinkles if you prefer as well.
- Store in an airtight container to keep them soft and chewy for days.
- Because these are eggless, there is no worry of under baking them. So, if you like a super soft cookie, feel free to under bake!
- You can also sneak a bite of cookie dough whenever you making eggless cookies!

FAQ’s
Yes! If you want to make these vegan, just swap out the butter for your favorite vegan butter. And use coconut or almond milk in place or milk.
Of course, feel free to use any kind of sprinkles you’d like.
Be sure to store these in an airtight container so they stay soft and chewy.
