Eggless chocolate chip cookies
Hello peeps! Happy happy new year 2022! I sincerely do hope this year is kind of us. I am currently sitting in the comfort of our bed with my 2 boys fast asleep. We 3 got into bed early on and had random conversations which included questions from Adya to D if D knows his Prakash mama (aka my brother :)) and Priyanka maami (my sil). Just to entertain him, D said he doesn’t know them and it was cute to see him trying to explain who they were to him :). I have never been someone who does anything other than being home for a very long time. Even as a child, we had some new year bash/ celebrations happening within the community we lived and that’s all I have grown up to see/ be a part of. I have been amidst my family and close circle of friends with whom I grew up in my building. Things haven’t changed much at all. Only it’s Adya and his friends now for the friends part of it and that’s the circle of life I guess :).
Adya is the patient in the so called Doctor game! 
Us 3 trying to get 1 decent pic with A having his eyes open and that didn’t work till the very end 🙂
This was clearly how we partied hard to ring in NY 2022 🙂 and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Oh well, I just wish I had my folks, Jan and Sush around me. That would have been just perfect. Infact, Pri, Athu and mom were here last new year and I made doughnuts amongst other indulgent stuff 🙂
Anywho, I have made big batches of the cookies below and they have been super loved by all the kids in the pic below (well, mine likes it the least honestly and that’s such a bummer). My neighbour’s kid loves it so much that it truly makes my heart sing with joy to see how much she enjoys the cookies. These are super easy to make and absolutely not healthy :D. However, they are any day better than store bought cookies and so, if you want to make treats at home for the kids, then this one will be an absolute delight. Kids (typically) will like this and they are super easy to make.
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp All purpose flour/ maida
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- a pinch salt
- 2 nos flax eggs 2T flax seed powder mixed in 5T water and left to set for 10 mins
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil or softened butter
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
-
In a small bowl, mix together the 1c+2T all purpose flour, 1/2t baking soda and a pinch salt. Set it aside.
-
In a wider bowl, whisk together 2 flax egg, 1/4 virgin coconut oil, 1/4c white sugar, 1/4c brown sugar, 1/2t vanilla essence and 2T milk.
-
Whisk well (key to having soft, chewy and nicely risen cookies).
-
Now add the dry mix into this and fold it all together.
-
Finally add 1/2c chocolate chips and mix it all up.
-
The mixture will be a bit sticky which is perfect. Just place it in a small bowl, close it with a lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours (I have been leaving it overnight for convenience sake)
-
After a few hours (or overnight), take out the bowl and scoop out 1T measure of the cookie dough, shape into balls and flatten them to resemble a patty and place them on a greased baking tray.
-
Bake in a preheated oven of 180c for 12-13 mins (I used cookie mode in airfryer and had to bake for 15min in that mode).
-
Take the baking tray out of the oven and let the cookies cool down completely.
-
Take the cookies out of the tray and enjoy them immediately or store it in an airtight container. This stays well for a week or more (well, we never saw this last for more than a few days honestly).
