Top 4 Tips for Perfect Eggless Chocolate Cookies
1️⃣ Chill the Dough – Freezing for at least 15 minutes prevents spreading and gives the cookies a better texture.
2️⃣ Use Dark Brown Sugar – It adds moisture and chewiness, making the cookies rich and soft.
3️⃣ Don’t Overbake – Remove cookies when the edges are set but the center looks slightly underdone; they will firm up as they cool.
4️⃣ Mix Gently – Overmixing makes cookies tough. Stir just until ingredients are combined for the best texture.
These Eggless Chocolate Cookies are the perfect treat—easy to make, rich in flavor, and irresistibly soft and chewy. Whether you have dietary restrictions or just run out of eggs, this recipe delivers delicious results every time. Try them today and enjoy a chocolatey delight! 🍪✨
