Need a recipe for Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies? You've come to the right place! These eggless cookies are just as good as traditional chocolate chip cookies and a lot healthier. This easy recipe for eggless cookies is also low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
I really began making eggless cookies as an accident. A friend mentioned to me that she used gelatin in place of eggs to make almond flour cookies crisp and I had to give it a try. After a few trials I came up the perfect almond flour cookie dough and since then I've used it in a dozen different recipes.
By switching the flavor of extract, adding some nuts, and adding chocolate you can change the taste. With different shapes, you can change the look. It is easy to make 3 or 4 different types of cookies with the same base dough. And no one will ever know.
In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.
This recipe is very similar to my Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies with a couple of tweaks to make these eggless cookies taste more like the classics.

How to Make Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
I make my cookies in my food processor. The food processor cuts the cold butter into the flours easily and mixes all the ingredients thoroughly.
First Step: Mix all the ingredients besides the chocolate chips in a food processor.
Second Step: Stir in the chocolate chips. Try not to eat all the dough before baking!
BUT, one of the best parts of making eggless chocolate chip cookies is that you can eat the cookie dough without worrying about consuming raw eggs.
Third Step: Scoop the cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. This method is quick and painless.
Expert Tip: If you want to make another batch of my eggless cookies you don't even need to clean the food processor bowl in between.
How to Make Round Cookies
The easiest way is with a cookie scoop.
My three cookie scoops are one of the most used gadgets in my kitchen. I use the largest size to make meatballs, giant cookies and fill cupcakes, and the smaller sizes for cookies and to scoop ice cream.
My toddler loves having baby ice cream cones. My local grocery store sells mini cones that are perfectly sized for a toddler. I use the smallest scoop and give him a little ice cream as a treat when the bigger kids have dessert.
Notes and Tips for Perfect Eggless Cookies
- You need the gelatin. Since these don't have eggs the gelatin is the binder.
- I have only tested these with my sweetener and these exact ratios of almond flour and coconut flour. Using a different flour blend will result in a cakier cookie.
- Use chocolate chips you like. If you don't like the sugar-free chocolate chips go ahead and chop up a bar of sugar-free milk chocolate instead.
- These freeze very well!
Eggless Cookie Dough
I'm a bit of a rebel and use raw egg yolks in most of my ice cream recipes (and I've never gotten sick from eating homemade ice cream) but I know this is a concern to a lot of people. Eggless cookie dough is a delicious treat and I use it as a base for my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake and Frozen Cookie Dough Bites.

I tried these in the microwave, just making one from your Single Serve recipe. They never hardened, and we had to eat it with a spoon. I wonder, what happened.
Taryn says
You probably needed to microwave longer. Did you try to adjust this recipe you commented on? Or the original one here: https://joyfilledeats.com/single-serve-cookie/
Vicky Davis says
Another winner Taryn. I didn't have any molasses, so I added 1/2 tablespoon of monkfruit golden for that brown sugar taste.
Nancy says
Are you suppose to half the 1/3 cup of Gentle Sweet ? On some of your recipes you do, so I did on these cookies.
Nancy says
My cookies are a little fatter than yours. Used a cookie scoop. Also a little browner on the bottom.
Erica Woodall says
My husband thinks they are great, which is a winner for this Trim Healthy Mama. I would check on mine way before 15 mins. next time. Some were black by then, and none ever felt "firm" until completely cooled, but even the black ones taste good! Kind of like a peanut butter cookie flavor. Ovens, humidity and altitude are different everywhere and affect baking tremendously. Thank you, Taryn! P.S. I use Pyure in the amounts for Gentle Sweet because our predominantly Male household and sugar addicted mama feel like that level of sweetness is just about right! 😉
Nix says
I used 1/3 cup granulated Swerve and 1/3 cup Swerve Brown, used chopped up 77% dark chocolate bars, and these came out fantastic! Definitely the closest I've had to a "normal" cookie!
Haley says
Those look delicious.
Carolyn says
These were amazing!! The texture was very cookie like! I made them for a small get-together with a few families with kids. I also made a double batch of a higher end brownie mix for those who didn't mind sugar. I was hoping that with the brownie option I'd have leftovers for me. However when everyone left I noticed the platter was empty. 😞
I don't have a food processor so I chopped the butter up in small pieces. Then I used a mixer to begin combining. I ended up using my clean hands to knead it into dough.
Another reason I liked them is that my cookies actually looked a lot like your photos. That generally doesn't happen with online recipes! I am definitely making these again. Thanks!!
Rena says
Best low carb gluten free chocolate chip cookies I've made !! Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes!!

Erin says
My food processor broke. Can I use ky blender? I have a ninja bender and food processor but the processor sadly broke. And my neice wants chocolate chip cookies. So do I since the new most stuffed oreo cookie just came out I want a cookie
Taryn says
A blender might work but you will need to scrape down the sides. I'd probably just use it to cut the butter into the almond flour. Then add that to the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon.
Nancy says
I use flax eggs for chocolate chip cookies are they are delicious!
