Can you bake this recipe? I’m allergic to eggs as well.
Sandi Gaertner
As it is, no. This recipe is not intended to be baked. It has no baking powder as a leavener. If you are looking for an egg-free cookie, you can sub Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer in my chocolate chip cookie recipe. https://www.fearlessdining.com/gluten-free-chocolate-chip-walnut-cookies/

Hi there! New to this site. Would you be able to make this recipe with vegan butter? I am dairy free as well so I have dairy free chocolate chips. This looks so good! I am a huge fan of anything chocolate. 🙂
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Karin, I would think it would work, but I haven't tested it to know what the flavor profile would be. If you do try it, please come back and let us know so other readers will know too. Thank you!
