• Butter- You can use salted or unsalted butter as long as it is at room temperature.
• Brown sugar & granulated sugar- The mixture of sugar gives these cookies the perfect texture and an amazing depth of flavor. I used light brown sugar but feel free to use dark brown sugar as well for a deeper flavor.
• Cream cheese- Make sure to use room-temperature cream cheese. This ingredient is used in place of the egg.
• Vanilla extract– This will give extra depth of flavor.
• All-purpose flour – All-purpose flour works great for this recipe.
• Baking soda- This is our leavening agent for the recipe.
• Salt- Always use a little salt in your baked goods to balance out the sugar in the recipe.
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips & mini chocolate chips– I use this mix but you can also use chocolate chunks instead or even mix in some peanut butter chips in there too.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store these chewy cookies?

You can place the cooled-down cookies in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to 4 days. I love popping them back into the microwave to get them all gooey before enjoying them.

Can I freeze these eggless chocolate chip cookies?

For best results, place the cooled-down cookies in an air-tight container and freeze them for up to 3 months.

Once you’re ready to enjoy them, let them thaw in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for a few hours.

I also love microwaving them quickly to get to enjoy them faster.

How to make gluten free chocolate chip cookies without eggs?

If you want to make this recipe gluten-free, all you have to do is use Bob’s Red Mill, or King Arthur Flour 1:1 GF flour instead of the regular all-purpose flour I’m using here.

What is the secret to gooey chocolate chip cookies?

The biggest reason your cookies might not be turning out super ooey gooey is probably that you overbake the cookies. When you undertake them a little they will keep baking on the hot baking sheet but will yield a more chewy gooey cookie.

Can I eat eggless cookie dough?

Okay, so if you have an egg allergy this might seem like the cookie dough that you can eat but you have to keep in mind that raw flour can also contain some bacterias that can make you sick. So I would avoid eating this raw cookie dough and instead make this edible chocolate chip cookie dough to enjoy safely whenever the craving hits.
