Cookie substitute for one egg

[CrazyCatLady]

Hey!

I've found a choc chip cookie mix which appears to be accidentally vegan and requires 1 medium egg. I have found lots of options for egg substitutes and was wondering what everyone recommends for this specific sort recipe.

Many thanks xxx

I'd use a cup of soy milk with a teaspoon of cider vinegar in. Whisk the vinegar in, leave it to stand for 10 minutes or so, pour it in.

You could also use a mashed up banana or a little canola/rapeseed oil

For chewy cookies, I like to use a "flax egg". Sometimes I even add a teaspoon of EnerG egg replacer to the flax seed mix.

Now I want chocolate chip cookies.

I haven't heard of flax egg. Is it an American thing or have I just never come across it? xxx

I also use energ egg replacer as my go-to egg sub. It was good enough for my mother, it's good enough for me. I've used flax eggs before, but sometimes I can taste the flax in the finished product, so I only use those in cookies with other strong flavors.

You just take a little ground flax seed, mix with water, and let sit for a minute. It'll gel up and be similar slimy consistency to an egg.

A little? Like so I have as much as if I had an egg? Or do you just add until you have the right consistency? Xxx

Flax seed is what we call linseed in the UK. You can get it from H&B.

I would use Ener-G Egg Replacer when making choc chip cookies.

Is ener-G egg replacer something that can be purchased on the high street in the UK? Xxx

Except it suggest boiling the water, which I've never done, and my baked goods come out just fine. So it's an unnecessary step, in my opinion.

I've never seen the product in one of our supermarkets. You can buy it on-line but it is very pricey. It is made out of potato starch and tapioca flour.

I buy mine in the US at Sprouts.

I dont know how much this will help but when I made (from scratch) vegan cookies I used oil and soy milk as a binder.
I think you can get egg replacer at Holland and Barett but its very pricey and seems chemically to me.

I can send you the recipe for the cookies I have if you like. They are chocolate not plain but I added choc chips to them to make them double choc chip

I did make them like in the recipe and they were nice...however I have also made them without putting a thumbprint and jam in and just added a handful or two of roughly chopped chocolate and they turned out lovely. Also you can use any milk you like. I even used some chocolate soy milk I had open as I had run out of plain milk...lol. For the sugar use whatever you like...I used soft dark brown sugar(again all I had in the cupboard)

My boyfriend (M as I post often about him) is an Omni he took them to work (all Omnis) and they were begging for more!

These look awesome...I love cookies/jam but never tried it with chocolate cookies, only a vanilla/butter like cookie. I like the idea of making these using chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. I'm going to try them!

I thought it was odd. But the jam goes nice with chocolate. I used strawberry jam but I bet it would taste amazing with Raspberry jam...chocolate+raspberries=

I just mix 1 Tbl ground flaxsed with 3 Tbl warm water per egg needing replacement. I've also used non-dairy milk in place of the water when making french toast and it worked fine.

Do you think this is the right thing to use? On my way to get some now, making my nan and grandad a cake for their wedding anniversary xxx

Not sure how much they are in H&B but Sainsburys do a 100g bag for about £1 xxx

Food is usually much cheaper at Sainsbug's than H&B's.
