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.

Eggless Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Tried it tonight. I used canola oil and my 2 and 4 year old great grandchildren love these cookies. Allergies to milk, corn, soy and a slight intolerance to egg are common in this family.

These cookies are way too sweet for our taste, I could only eat 1/2 a cookie. I did the math, and there are over 4 tsp. of sugar in each cookie. Cut the brown sugar to 1 cup NOT Packed, and the white sugar to 1/3 cup. Cut flour to 2 cups, increase rolled oats to 3 cups. Add 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. They will look better and taste better. You may need to add a little more water, the dough should feel cohesive and a bit sticky when you put them in the oven.

FANTASTIC!! Was searching for an eggless recipe and tried this. Was a huge hit with everyone. Just 1 thing. It was way too sweet. Now I use only the brown sugar. It comes out perfect.

I found this recipe while I was pregnant and craving cookie dough, but didn't want to eat the raw eggs... needless to say I ate a lot of cookie dough. And I continue to make this recipe since it is so yummy! I have known for a long time that I prefer cookie dough over cooked cookies any day - and I think it's because of the cooked-egg flavor of most cookies. I love this recipe raw or cooked! :)

I'm vegetarian and don't eat eggs. This seems to be another good cookie recipe for oatmeal cookies. When I would make yummy oatmeal cookies in the past and for certain occasions I used eggs that came from good source. I no longer use any eggs now. I was wondering what type of vinegar. White, or would Apple cider be too strong? And what about rice since it is mild. Thanks.

Very good recipe. I would change the amount of sugar next time, they are a bit too sweet for me.

Awesome! I made a half recipe since I only had 1 stick of butter and used 3/4 c. brown sugar and 1/4 c. granulated. They were still pretty sweet. But I also added 1 tbsp. each of black strap molasses and almond butter, which both boost sweetness without added sugar. I used sunflower seeds for nuts. I really messed with this recipe and it still turned out super good. Thanks!

I was happy to find this, as everyone else was, but I found that it made TONS of cookies, and I needed to cook them for 15-20 minutes. My oven was at 350°F and was definitely preheated. I'm not sure why but they had to stay in longer, and as stated in previous comments, flatten them to ensure that the middle gets cooked! Not so yummy when the middle is uncooked! Otherwise, very good! Luckily I had a lot of batches to experiment with.

YUM! I just made these and since I didn't have any nuts I used chopped granny smith apples and added some cinnamon. They are a little too sweet for my taste, I might try less sugar and more oats next time. But so far, they are delish and a great base to add whatever special ingredients you like.

My big guy and my little guy gobbled these up! I didn't have eggs or any goodies in the house ... I surprised them with these cookies and everyone was happy.

Like most of the other commenters, I was out of eggs but wanted to make cookies. I seriously tripped over the vinegar, especially when I could really smell it in the dough. I was also out of brown sugar, so I used 3 cups of white sugar. I used 2 cups whole wheat flour (kids can't see it), 1/2 cup white flour, also needed to add 2 T extra water. I used hot water. I baked 6 cookies per sheet (42 gm dough each). They did not look done after 12 minutes, but after sitting for 5 minutes were chewy good. I can't wait to try some of the suggestions left by others. Thanks for this versatile delicious recipe!
