Ever since I started to bake, I was waiting to bake these choco chips cookies. Every single time I buy a pack of chocochips for this reason, store it in the chiller and totally forget about it….And when I remember about it, I see only the empty pack(or sometimes a tbsp left) and the culprits were my mother and mittu 🙂 Yes this has happened for more than a year and all my efforts of hiding it in different places were all in vain as somehow they find it out and before I realise the chocochips goes empty….Grrrr! Finally this time, I got the choco chips only a day before I baked these cookies so it was saved 🙂 I took the recipe from my baking class book and I was very much satisfied with the results.This recipe is quite simple and easy to put it together.You can use this recipe for a basic vanilla cookie too.
Eggless Choco Chip Cookies Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 30 mins | Makes : 15 cookies
Recipe Category: Cookies | Recipe Cuisine: World
Recipe Category: Cookies | Recipe Cuisine: World
Maida (All Purpose Flour) – 1 cup
Icing Sugar – 1/3 cup
Butter – 1/3 cup (at room temperature)
Choco Chips – 1/3 cup minus 1 tbsp
Vanilla Essence – 3/4 tsp
Baking Soda – 1/4 tsp
Baking powder – 1/4 tsp
Milk – 1 tbsp
Method:
- Cream sugar and butter until creamy. Add vanilla essence and whisk it well.
- Sieve maida , baking powder,soda well until evenly mixed. Add it to butter sugar mixture.
- Bring it together to form a soft dough(Add milk only if its too dry and doesnt come together). Add in the choco chips finally and give a quick stir.Now the cookies dough is ready.
- Preheat oven to 180 deg C for 10mins. Meanwhile roll them into medium sized balls and flatten it with your palms – if you want more thinner cookies flatten them thin. I wanted a bit thicker so made it like this. Bake the cookies for 20-25mins. If its thinner keep an eye at 15mins itself. Mine took a little longer and got baked in 25mins.
Cool them on wirerack completely then store them in airtight container.
My Notes:
- Keep an eye after 15 mins especially when you are making your cookies more thinner.As the timing varies from oven to oven, so switch it off once the cookies turn golden brown.
- The cookies dont spread much so you need not worry about keeping them close.
- The number of cookies depends on the size of cookies.
- Do not overbake, the cookies will become harder.
- Dont skip butter as its the main ingredients which makes this chat tastier.

sheenam says
January 3, 2013 at 2:15 pm@Sharmi – first of all kudos for all the great work..this is an awesome site especially for veg people 🙂 for couple of your recipes, you have used butter. Just want to check if we can use desi ghee(melted) instea of butter? or it should be butter only?
Sharmilee! :) says
January 3, 2013 at 2:34 pmThanks a lot! Reg ur query….no no use only butter dont replace it with ghee
sheenam says
January 5, 2013 at 5:13 pmalways used to wonder how someone can make cookies at home….and no wonder, I did it today..Thanks a lot "Sharmi"..you are awesome 🙂

May 5, 2013 at 11:15 amI have a microwave oven with me.
It has convection, grill, Micro and Combination options.
Should I do this is in convection or Grill mode?
Sharmilee! :) says
May 5, 2013 at 5:26 pmUsually baking is done in convection mode I guess….not really sure as I have not used a microwave oven
NICE says
May 5, 2013 at 6:41 pmHi ,
M completely new to microwave and used your cookie recipe .
Could you guide me which utencil to use while baking the cookie ?
or Can i keep it directly to the rotating tray with microwave.
Sharmilee! :) says
May 6, 2013 at 2:40 am@Nice : I am not used to microwave baking…My otg came with a cookie tray which I use for baking cookies. Please check your manual , sorry couldnt help u in this regard.
anandi says
June 18, 2013 at 1:55 amAwesome! I made them in my microwave last night. And they came out so well that I am going to make more today and store them. Thanks Sharmilee. I am going to keep trying out more recipes from your blog this weekend.
I placed the cookies directly on the high rack that came with my microwave. Otherwise, you can also use glass bowls with flat surface.
Sana Khan says
October 10, 2015 at 12:05 pm@anandi For how many minutes did you microwave them for? And did you baked the whole batch?!
Preeti Patwal says
June 24, 2013 at 9:25 amhii …i love yu recipes…bt whenevr i make cookies…they alwayzz start buring from below…they start leaving oil also nd then they start burning from below…plzz help me out
SHARMILEE J says
June 24, 2013 at 11:54 amUse a butter paper while baking cookies…Also you can try to change the racks in your oven….this might help!
Priya says
July 14, 2013 at 5:07 amHi Sharmi,
I tried this one yday.It was not as tasty as the store/bakey bought ones .Though butter is there it is kind of flavour less:( all the recipes so far from your blog has turned out yummy..except for this one ..
the cookie did look like official chocolate chip cookies;) ..but did not taste anything close to an average choco chip cookie..
regards,
Priya
SHARMILEE J says
July 14, 2013 at 5:10 amSorry to hear that Priya…But this recipe is flawless as its from my baking class book and this recipe has been tried and approved by many….Dont know where it went wrong for u….Good luck next time!
[US]Extreme says
September 28, 2013 at 2:24 pmI tried your recipe, but the dough i made just dripped down from the wire tray as soon as I placed it in the oven. Any kind of help would be appreciated.
SHARMILEE J says
September 29, 2013 at 5:38 amI really cant get you….do you mean the flattened dough dripped out of the wirerack? You should bake the cookies and only then use wirerack only for cooling….for baking use the cookie tray that comes along with your oven…Hope this helps!
Bhawna says
October 6, 2013 at 5:52 pmHey hi..can u please tell can i use only baking powder..if yes then how much..please reply..thanks in advance.
SHARMILEE J says
October 7, 2013 at 8:51 amYes you can try that and see…not really sure of the outcome
Munmun says
October 18, 2013 at 6:43 amHi Sharmi… these cookies look sooooo yummy. Can't wait to make them myself! But I have a few questions… After preheating the oven, at what temperature should I bake the cookies? I have a Morphy Richards OTG, and whenever I try to bake cookies they turn out black at the bottom and undone on top. So, should I place the baking tray on the middle rack or the top rack? Thanks in advance.
SHARMILEE J says
October 19, 2013 at 12:47 pmBake it at the same preheated temperature…..Yes I usually use butter papper on the tray and place it in the middle rack
Kookie says
November 1, 2013 at 9:40 amHi…thanks for the wonderful choco chip cookie recipe. My family loves them..and they are so easy !! I need to buy a baking tray for cookies. can you suggest which is better for an OTG…. aluminium, silicone, or non stick? or any one you feel is better. Thanks..waiting for your reply
SHARMILEE J says
November 1, 2013 at 11:17 amI am using the tray(the black one you see in the pics) one which came with my oven….I have used only steel and aluminium trays both works good…not sure of the silicon and nonstick ones….
Nidhi Agroyee says
February 18, 2014 at 6:47 amHi Rather then using icing sugar can we use powdered sugar , which we normally use for making muffins ….Today i tried making these cookies….but it doesn't come out that well 🙁
SHARMILEE J says
February 19, 2014 at 12:57 pmOh I am really not sure about the replacement but I used store icing sugar only….
Balla Yamini says
February 28, 2014 at 7:30 amHey, in the ingredients u have given baking powder + soda. Where did u use the baking powder in the recipe? Can we use powdered sugar instead of icing sugar?
SHARMILEE J says
February 28, 2014 at 3:08 pmBaking powder should be added along with soda itself…..I am really not sure if powdered sugar will work as a replacement….give it a try and see!
Mitul Modi says
March 12, 2014 at 4:56 pmHi we need salted or unsalted butter.
SHARMILEE J says
March 14, 2014 at 5:46 amIt is unsalted butter…
Sneha Deb says
March 31, 2014 at 10:59 amHi sharmi, could u guide me to any online store where I can find the chocolate chips. Not getting it any store here 🙁
SHARMILEE J says
March 31, 2014 at 11:41 amCheck at Nilgiris or Nuts and Spices….not aware of the online shops.
meenakshi gupta says
November 20, 2014 at 7:03 ami must very easy and quick recipe. I tried. But it took longer time and came out little hard. how to make them softer.
SHARMILEE J says
November 24, 2014 at 5:22 amIf its overbaked then it will be hard….
shraddha says
November 5, 2015 at 3:38 pmCan i use wheat flour instead of maida
SHARMILEE J says
November 6, 2015 at 8:57 amYes you can but the texture and taste will differ
Banusree Praveen says
January 11, 2016 at 4:43 amSharmi, Can i use plain sugar instead of icing sugar for this recipe?
SHARMILEE J says
January 24, 2016 at 6:43 amYes you can
