Egg substitute for choc. chip cookies?!
Egg substitute for choc. chip cookies?
I am baking a prepackaged mix of chocolate chip cookies tonight, I dont have time to go to the store and I dont have any eggs. I am supposed to use 1 egg for every pouch ( I am only using one pouch). Is there anything else I can use as a substitute for the cookies instead of eggs? ( I heard that for a low cholesterol option you can use applesauce, but in what amount?)
Thanks...
Answers:
Yes, you can use 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce per 1 egg.
You can also use 2 tbsp corn starch per 1 egg. If it is a bit dry, you can simply add a bit of water until it is the consistency you want.
Honestly, I have found that most chocolate chip cookies do not even need eggs. I add water for consistency and end up with great cookies.
ps. 1 banana = 1 egg for cakes, but you can also use the corn starch
