Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make my eggless chocolate chip cookies chewier?
The secret to a perfectly chewy eggless chocolate chip cookie is in the amount of cornstarch. Cornstarch can soften the proteins of flour and, in turn, can make your cookies chewier.
Is it okay to use oil instead as a substitute for eggs?
Yes, you can definitely use oil. However, make sure that you are using vegetable oil. The ratio for the substitution would be: for every 1 egg, use 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. A word of caution, though: if the recipe requires more than one egg, you may have to look for other substitutes such as applesauce or silken tofu instead of vegetable oil.
