Cookies are enjoyed by kids and kids-at-heart. These gorgeous Eggless Double Chocolate Cookies will make you do a double-take and grab some double-helpings. Make a big batch, bake some for now and freeze some dough for later. Since summer holidays are here, get the kids to help out and get some cookie-points with them 
Prep Time: 15 min
Chill Time: 30 min
Bake Time: 20 min
Cooling Time: 15 min
Makes: approx 20-24 cookies
Ingredients:
Softened Butter – 10 tbsp
Powdered Sugar – 1/2 cup
All-Purpose Flour – 1 cup
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – 2 tbsp
Baking Powder – 1 tsp
Vanilla Extract – 1 tsp
Chocolate Chips – 1/4 – 1/2 cup (optional)
Method:
1. Combine the Softened Butter and the Confectioners Sugar and mix till creamy.
2. Add in the Vanilla Extract and mix. Keep aside.
3. In a separate bowl sift the dry ingredients: All-Purpose Flour, Cocoa Powder and Baking Powder and mix.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the Butter mixture a little at a time, mix and incorporate well.
5. For the Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, add in the Chocolate Chips the batter and mix. Otherwise skip this step.
6. Allow the dough to chill the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
6. Pre-heat oven to 300 Degree F/150 degrees C.
7. Line a cookie sheet/pan with foil or parchment paper.
8. Once out of the fridge, roll out approximately lime-size cookie balls and place them about 3″ apart.
9. Decorate with a Chocolate Chip on top if desired.
10. Bake in the heated oven for 20 minutes or until done.
11. Once out of the oven, allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack.
12. Allow them to cool all the way through and store in an airtight container.
Tip:
1. Make a few cookies and save some dough for later. Freeze the dough for 1 month or refrigerate for 1 week. Defrost and bake.
2. To omit the chocolate, replace the Cocoa Powder with additional All-Purpose Flour.

WOW too much butter. Not a very healthy choice for kids. Homemade cookies are suppose to be good for kids but not with lots of butter.

I have not tried the recipe as yet, but 1 tsp baking powder is just right for the quantity of flour and other ingredients.
June 8th, 2011 at 9:30 pm
Nice and thanks for suggesting an option without cocoa powder too. I am surprised that the chocolate chip held up their shape and did not melt!
Both of your tops look very nice. Anuja’s top is very unique and Hetal, that color suites you. Enjoyed the vide.
Happy summer to you and your families.

Can the floue be substituted with wheat flour.
Please show us some recipes with whole wheat flour.

June 9th, 2011 at 8:19 am
Info for all happy bakers, if you dont like eggs the best option is very ripe bananas, it acts as a binder & add walnuts for a very happy ending. I do not use eggs for cakes till a friend told me this idea & I haven’t stopped using babanas.!!

Hi Gira,
We have not tried Splenda but it should work. Look for the Splenda for baking as the texture is similar to sugar and the quantities are usually the same as well.

Can’t remember exactly which store, but sometimes during the holiday season, there are more options with chocolate chips.

Ouch …..Too much butter………i make all my cookies with olive oil or coconut oil and they turn out delicious. There is not need to use butter to make out of this world cookies AT ALL. Also I use to apple sauce to cut down on oil. IF you make them healthy, you can have more
or without any guilt

Hi hetal and Anuja,
Thanks a lot for the wonderful recipes . You guys have become a daily visitors to my house .my 5 year old son refers you both as aunties . He likes watching your videos. He wants me to make the cookies right now after watching it.I am starting to the store to get all the ingredients.
I had a small question regarding my spatulas .I use wooden or bamboo ones but after some time it changes color.I see you both using the silicone or heat resistant ones. What is safe ana where can I get them.I want to replace all my wooden ones.
Thanks a lot again
[Reply]
hetal Reply:
June 16th, 2011 at 11:28 pm
Hi Nirmala,
The heat resistant silicone ones work really well. Get good quality ones that bend easily. They tend to clean up much better than the cheaper ones. Remember, not all silicone ones are heat resistant so be sure to read the label and make sure it is.

hi, hetal and anuja…
this recipe was amazing…!!
i was searching for some eggless cookies….to make for a vegetarian friend.
and i loved these… this recipe is a keeper..my sons finished half of the cookies..during the day…and i had to make them again in the night….
just one thing., i live in japan and the cup sizes here are different than the american sizes..please mention the amount of ingredients in metric for all the baking products….i used some internet chart to convert the “cups” to “gms” ….but somehow ..the number of cookies i made in one go were less …. but they were so delicious that ….they were eaten in no time..by my kids…and the vegetarian guests the next day too…!!
thanks a lot!!!!

hetal Reply:
June 22nd, 2011 at 3:00 pm
Hi Meena,
Sorry for the late reply. Usually, refrigerating the dough prevents the cookies from spreading out and becoming too thin. 10 Tbsp is one stick plus two tablespoons (or 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp).

We are not sure what Melody chocolate is but something like M&Ms would work (the mini ones), or you can use little pieces of baking chocolate.

Hi guys,
I have tried a few recipes off your website, and so far, they have come out GREAT! all except for the eggless chocolate cookies. Something went wrong drastically in the batter – the dough was too creamy and i had to add more flour to get the texture right. And with the amount of dough I made, I ended up with 50 cookies, so you can imagine
They tasted alright though. I was hoping you could give me the measurements in grams…as that would be much easier?

Hi Sowmya,
These cookies stay fresh at room temperature but we would limit it to one week. They will lose their fresh flavor after 3 weeks.

August 4th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
Hi Ladies,
WOW, I tried these over week-end and came out very good. Kids had double the fun making and eating them.
My daughter just has one request of making them crispier like store bought. I didn’t want to alter this recipe the first time, will try temp/time changes next time to bake crispier.
Keep up the good work, I will surely revisit site for newer recipes.
Thanks

I just wanted to thank you and say I’ve learned this recipe by heart, it needs so little ingredients and it’s so easy we’re making it whenever we’re in need of something sweet.
I’ve started adding little milk into sugar and butter to make it easier to mix and it helps. Thanks for sharing!
[Reply]
December 16th, 2011 at 10:16 am
I made cookies which turned out to be good. Appreciate if you could provide measurements in grams which would help us to be more accurate. Secondly is there any substitute for butter eg. oil. I could make only 14 cookies (same size as yours) whereas you made 24 with same amount of material. How come ?

Hi Ummehani,
Though you could substitute oil for butter, the texture may be affected. Butter has a different mix of milk fat and moisture.

Hi Jaskirat,
You have to use pure unsweetened cocoa powder…not the hot cocoa mix (it has all kinds of milk and sugar added). Hersheys is one of the brands we have used in the past.
