There’s something truly magical about baking in the quiet stillness of night, when the world slows down and you can indulge your cravings without interruption. If you’re a midnight snacker, then Dark and Delicious Eggless Chocolate Cookies might just become your new favorite late-night treat.

Why Go Eggless?
There’s a growing demand for eggless cookies, and for good reason. Eggs, while commonly used in baking, aren’t always necessary to achieve a delicious texture and flavor. With the right combination of ingredients, you can still get soft, chewy, and flavorful cookies that hold together beautifully.
Eggless sugar cookies and eggless chocolate chip cookies have become popular alternatives in many kitchens, offering a more inclusive approach to baking. Whether for vegans, people with allergies, or those seeking healthier substitutions, eggless recipes are on the rise — and we’re here for it.

Ingredients for Eggless Chocolate Cookies
Here’s what you’ll need to make around 12-15 large cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup milk (or any plant-based alternative)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
All of these baking essentials are available at Taza, so make sure to stock up before the cookie cravings hit.
The Method: Simple, Quick, and Foolproof
- Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking tray with parchment paper. - Cream the Butter & Sugar:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for creating that classic cookie texture. - Add the Wet Ingredients:
Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined. These ingredients help replace the eggs and bind the dough. - Sift & Mix Dry Ingredients:
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. - Add the Chocolate Chips:
Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks for an extra dose of chocolaty goodness. - Scoop & Bake:
Scoop out the dough using a spoon or cookie scoop and place on the baking tray, leaving some space in between. Bake for 10-12 minutes. - Cool & Enjoy:
Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or save them for another late-night craving.
Texture & Taste: What to Expect
These eggless chocolate cookies have a soft center with slightly crisp edges, exactly how a perfect midnight cookie should be. The absence of eggs doesn’t make them any less decadent; in fact, the balance of dark cocoa and chocolate chunks makes them even richer in flavor. Each bite offers a melt-in-your-mouth experience that will have you reaching for another.
Want to switch things up? You can easily turn this recipe into eggless chocolate chip cookies by swapping out the cocoa powder for a bit more flour and reducing the chocolate chunks to just chips. Or, go lighter and make eggless sugar cookies using the same base without cocoa and chocolate.
Midnight Cookie Hacks & Variations
Want to make these even more indulgent? Try these quick variations:
- Mocha Madness: Add 1 tsp instant coffee to the dough for a mocha twist.
- Nutty Delight: Mix in some chopped walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts for crunch.
- Peppermint Kicks: Add a dash of peppermint extract and crushed candy cane bits for a festive feel.
- Stuffed Surprise: Place a square of chocolate in the center of each dough ball for a molten center.
And remember, all your mix-ins and baking tools are easily available from Taza, making your midnight baking hassle-free.
