Today my goal was to find the perfect egg substitute for cookies. Baking a cake without eggs is actually easier than it seems, but cookies?? The same holds true for gluten free, egg free cookies. These must be impossible right?? I was inspired by Babycakes, but too cheap to buy the book. Why not try on my own...
My research led me to two major egg swaps, ground flax seed and Ener-G egg replacer. For both, you mix with some water before incorporating into the dough. I designed an experiment and kept eveything the same but the egg substitute. Lastly, I did one batch that was gluten free and egg free. Yep, that is three batches of cookies in one night! Needless to say, I called up my friend Susan, and her kids happily gobbled them up, with a few leftovers for my husband.
The winner you ask?? I would have to say it was Ener-G. I was impressed!! You could not tell these were egg free. They were chewy and delicious. Truthfully though, all three batches were delicious. Check them out!
