Eggless Sugar Cookies

September 8, 2012 by Maureen 143 Comments

It’s been a busy week around EasyRecipe central.  We’re so close to launching our new recipe plugin and it seems like every 15 minutes I get a, “Maureen, can you design a _____ for me right now?”  So it’s drop everything and help him get what he needs done and then get back to “work”.  My blog and cooking in general have suffered.  Last night I ate peanut butter off a spoon for dinner.  I know, I know – it could be orgasmic to do that but I’d need to have my clothes off and who has time?

I got a call yesterday from an old friend who was visiting Brisbane and wanted to drive up to the Sunshine Coast for coffee with us.  With all that’s been going on, we both went, “who has time for this???”  But we love this woman and wouldn’t miss spending time with her so I raced around like a madwoman making the house presentable. Did you see the meme going around this week that said the best cleaning is always done in the 10 minutes before company arrives? That’s me to a T. Anyone who arrives unannounced takes their chances.

Egg Free Sugar Cookies

You probably don’t have to clean up for company but I’ve got a dog that thinks every tissue or piece of paper he finds should be made into confetti, leaves kiss marks along the bottom of the windows (our back wall is nearly all glass) and I have cats who think if I don’t feed them at 6am they’ll knock over the food and help themselves.  Yes, the place was a mess.  I’d just gotten home from having coffee with a new friend and scrubbing the windows and floors wasn’t on my to-do list.

John came down the stairs and said the usual, “you don’t need me to do anything do you?”  It’s like he doesn’t live here and the chores are all mine but he has been working 18 hr days to get this thing done so I smiled sweetly and said, “I’ve got it,” and he trotted back to his office.  A few minutes later he yelled down and said, “Don’t forget that Anne can’t eat eggs!”

Egg Free Sugar Cookies

Argh, I had forgotten so I went to my recipe file from my mother to find a quick cookie without eggs so we could have a nibble with coffee.  I found one!  Okay, I’m not a big fan of cookies without eggs.  It’s like eating a stick of sweet butter for me but in small quantities, this recipe is very good.  They are especially good if you can’t eat eggs.

Author: Maureen
Serves: 40
Ingredients
  • 3½ cups flour
  • 452 grams (2 cups) salted butter
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy - don't skimp on this step because it makes a difference.
  3. Add vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly add in the flour.
  5. Place the large balls of of cookie dough onto a parchment lined sheet pan using a spoon or ice cream scoop. Leave room for flattening and a little bit of spread in the oven.
  6. Take a flat bottomed glass, smear a tiny bit of batter on the bottom and dip in sugar and flatten each ball.
  7. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. You only want the edges to turn brown so the cookies are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Anne was so pleased that she got a treat that she begged for the recipe to take back to Melbourne with her.  I figured if she was that happy, other people who can’t eat eggs might like them too so you should keep this recipe for friends like Anne.

        Loved this recipe! My daughter is allergic to eggs and this recipe was perfect! We couldn’t believe how delicious they were and how perfect they looked after they were cooked! You don’t miss the egg in it at all! The cookies came out very fluffy and delicious! The batter was so smooth and moist, super delicious and made a decent amount! Easy to make and had all the ingredients at home, didn’t have to make a special trip to the grocery store. Thank you! Will make these again! My husband couldn’t stop eating them and he doesn’t usually like sugar cookies. He was impressed!

    Love these cookies. Easy enough even I may try my hand at baking again.

    Your husband sounds just like mine! Adorable but useless when it comes to seeing what needs to be done. Unbelievable! I can just picture the scene. I also do most of my cleaning when I know people are coming over. The worst is when my spick and span parents drop in unannounced. I think they go home and have sleepless nights after viewing the carnage that is my home xx

    Good recipe – you never know when you’ll run into someone who can’t eggs, and this is good to know. I should probably look up and see what the vegan alternative to sugar cookies is – there are some amazing products out there. At least they sound amazing when I read about them on vegan blogs – I like my butter and eggs so I’m not planning to substitute, but I’m always curious about how people cope. Cleaning is pretty low priority around here, too. Amazing how the prospect of company spurs one to frenzied efforts, isn’t it?

    With all that you have to do you STILL make eggless cookies for visiting friends and give hubby a break from prepping the house for company! I’m not even embarrassed about my poor housekeeping any more.

    I haven’t cleaned inside my oven in at least a year and the kitchen floor was washed by my nephew this spring before he went back to school. I cook and do laundry. Everything else is a luxury.

    Right now I’m waiting for a pain pill to kick in and give me some relief as I just learned that I cannot walk 3 city blocks, even with a cane, without great discomfort.
    I made and ate pork chops and asparagus with hollandaise for ‘whatever you call the first meal of the day that sits sometime between lunch and supper’, then went to visit my mom. I’m home now, washed the dishes and made coffee and nothing is moving me from my chair in front of my computer until bedtime.

You probably had things looking so together and your house smelling so delicious, she probably thought that you had one of those houses where you just push a button and the house cleans itself, maybe even throws in a pan of cookies! 🙂 Oh, by the way, can I stop by tomorrow if I’m in the neighborhood? 🙂

    I too was vacuuming the house about 20 minutes before my GF and hubby arrived last night. Hehehe! Not naked either, just to clarify.

    Hi Maureen – I love these! They have something very similar in Sweden which they call “dreams” because they’re so light. They have a bit less butter and vegetable oil as well – cooked in little balls as well, instead of a cookie but I can imagine how good these are. I find it difficult not to eat all the dough, lol 😀

    I followed the recipe exactly, but the cookies did not come out right. They just crumbled apart. I went to a different blog and saw that they added a little milk and baking powder, so I added these same ingredients and winged it the best I could since the flour etc was different. They came out awesome, just wanted to be helpful incase anyone else did not have success without the baking powder.

    Just made these (still am baking them right now and had to post!) for my son’s scouts ceremony! I did not have eggs so that’s how I came across this recipe. As I was adding the butter and sugar, I realized I did not have enough sugar. In a panic I googled white sugar substitute. I found you could substitute with maple syrup. Gave it a try and they came out awesome! Only thing I could only bake them for 6 1/2 to 7 mins as the maple syrup browns the cookie faster. But none the less they taste great!! Will definitely be making these for Christmas 🙂

      Hi Terrilynn,

      No, these cookies wouldn’t be right for rolling and cutting into shapes, sorry!

    I found this recipe while googling for sugar cookies I could make without eggs (since I usually reduce the recipe so it makes just 2 cookies, and you can’t reduce eggs that much). I have never made sugar cookies before, and boy was I disappointed to find out that this is actually a recipe for SHORTBREAD (not sugar) cookies. I hate shortbread. Good thing I didn’t make the full recipe! Please, change the title of your recipe so people know what they will get, especially if they are inexperienced bakers like me.

    These are the best sugar cookies ever!!!!! Very light with slight mild outer crunch. I baked for 10 mins and made sure I whipped the butter and sugar for about 10 mins while I tucked the kids into bed. This is the easiest and so basic, VERY glad I came across this and your site. Cant wait to try more things! This is my new go to cookie!

    Thanks for the parchment idea!
    I used this recipe but improved the sugar cookie texture.

    1¾ cups spelt flour
    2 cups kamut flour
    2 cups unsalted butter
    1½ cups sugar
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1/8 cup milk or 1/8 cup water or 2 eggs
    2 teaspoons baking powder (2/3 tsp cream of tartar & 1/3 tsp baking soda)
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth.
    Beat in eggs and vanilla.
    Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
    Roll out dough on floured surface or between 2 sheets of parchment paper, 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
    Cut into shapes with a floured cookie cutter.
    Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
    Bake 10 to 15 minutes in preheated oven.
    Cool on rack.

    The baking powder makes them fluffy.

I don’t have many younger kids searching recipes and if they question it I will give one of the dictionary definitions of ‘intense and unrestrained excitement’ which definitely defines my approach to food.

    Oh wow those are delicious! my mother-in-law (she lives 600 miles away) is one of those that whenever she come to our house she’ll clean it from top to bottom. When me n my husband had just started dating his parents were planning to come over so I did spring cleaning in his house. There couldn’t have been a speck of dirt anywhere, I swear, but she cleaned the house anyway! That happened at least 3 or 4 times. I went off the deep end so my husband told me that the next time his mother comes over I’m not supposed to do any cleaning for 2 weeks. Hehehe that poor woman flipped out big time….. buuuut she hasnt cleaned my house since. Don’t get me wrong I do love my mother-in-law very much! she just stepped on my toes one time to many.

    We (my 3 littles and I) just baked these cookies, and we are waiting for them to cool so we can add icing!

    My youngest is anaphylactic to eggs, so dying Easter eggs is out of the question for us. I still wanted to have some fun with them and start a new tradition, and this is the route we chose to take. I bought Easter-themed cookie cutters, so our cookies are in the shape of eggs (ironic, right?), butterflies, carrots, chicks, bunnies, and butterflies. We’ll be decorating them after bath time tonight and putting them out during Easter dinner tomorrow!

    Thanks for sharing this recipe! I’m so excited my allergy baby gets a treat!
