EGGLESS CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN
COOKIES
 
This recipe calls for no eggs. If you have an egg allergy, or don't like eggs this recipe is right for you. No more buying expensive egg substitutes. The substitute is made with 3 simple common ingredients: baking powder, vinegar, and water. These cookies are great for those with an egg allergy!

2 sticks butter, soft
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup raisins, rolled in flour
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. vinegar
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine sugars and butter. Add vanilla, water, and vinegar; mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and soda, followed by salt. Combine the two mixtures together. Add raisins, which have been lightly rolled in flour, and oats; mix together well. Add pecans if desired.

Roll dough in small balls with about 6-9 cookies per greased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies won't look ready at 10 minutes but take out and let sit for 5 minutes in order to be chewy.

Good recipe!! I used whole wheat flour and needed 2 tablespoons more water. Great to find this since I was out of eggs.

This is a great recipe if you need a cookie fix and have run out of eggs. These are very sweet cookies. I baked mine for 12 minutes and they were delicious but a bit doughy in the middle. I recommend maybe flattening them slightly with a utensil before placing in the oven so the middle of the cookie gets baked thoroughly. Yum!

Vegan or out of eggs, these cookies are sweet, moist crowd-pleasers. I added a little water, and made smaller cookies, and they were delicious! Thank you so the recipe! (and the tips.)

I ran out of eggs and was craving cookies! These are quite tasty. The dough was very dry so I was worried and put another tbsp. of water in the mix. I am sure it would have been fine without it though. Mmmm mmmm.

I PUT A HANDFUL OF CRANBERRIES AND C/C. AND JUST ONE CUP OF BROWN/S, NOT BAD!

Fabulous recipe that you can play with by substituting or adding coconut, chipits, sunflower seeds, crushed flax seed, etc. Going by the "too sweet" comments, I used 1/4 c. white sugar. Perfecto. Cookies had that nice home-made, cracked look and taste delicious. Who knew u could put vinegar in cookies??

I was so happy to find this. Needed to make an emergency "thank you" batch of cookies but never have eggs on hand, so... this was perfect! Used slightly less brown sugar (was almost out of that, too) which seemed okay since this recipe seems on the sweet side. Tossed in whatever I found in my cupboards: carob chips, almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries. Wonderful.

These cookies are too sweet, good with 1 1/2 cups sugar. Good if you've run out of eggs.

 Cat (Texas) says:
I cut down the brown sugar to 1 1/2 cups, didn't quite have 2 cups of of oatmeal and omitted the raisins and nuts. DELISH! What a great recipe for those us who run out of eggs yet need to satisfy the cookie craving!

Anybody know what a "stick" of butter is in cup measurement?
 #40733
 Susan (Delaware) replies:
1 lb. of butter is 2 cups, so 1 stick of butter (1/4 lb.) would be 1/2 cup.

Decided to bake these as all of the reviews said they are really sweet (I prefer my cookies on the sweeter side) and because I was out of eggs. I live in Colorado and didn't really have to make any high-altitude adjustments although, I baked mine for 13 minutes and flattened them with a fork a tiny bit. The vinegar scared me but you really can't taste it! Plus, I wasn't worried about my toddlers eating the dough (I always hear my mom's voice in the back of my head telling me the raw eggs will make me sick). They're fantastic!

 Beth (Colorado) says:
Perfect for 9000 altitude. I used half the brown sugar and 3/4c granulated (that is what i had on hand) half the oats as well. I used regular - not quick cooking. Also added white chocolate chips and diced almonds. PERFECTION! Oh yes, I also added an extra Tbsp of water.

 Jennifer (Kentucky) says:
I omitted the white sugar since several comments said it was too sweet and it turned out great. I did overcook as they never browned really well and then they were crunchy - so go ahead and pull them out at 12 minutes if you want softer cookies. The taste was great!
