Wholegrain Eggless Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies …. cookies as simple as they are addictive! There was a time I always had a jar of home made cookies on the shelf, baking them once a week at least, sometimes twice. Cookies gave way to desserts and other bakes, yet cookies remain one of my favourite things to bake. They are fuss free, use staple ingredients, allow easy substitution and scream comfort!
For me, it sometimes defies logic that someone should buy a packet of chocolate chip cookies when they can be made so easily with everyday ingredients and taste a million times better! Take a look at the list of ingredients on a packet of store bought ones and chances are you’ll begin baking these at home for good! Staple everyday ingredients, easy process, quick to bake and packed with the goodness of walnuts, I love everything about these Wholegrain Eggless Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies. I also absolutely love using nuts in baking and desserts as you can see!
NOTHING can beat the taste of freshly baked homemade cookies! These Wholegrain Eggless Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies are a fine example. Since they’re egg free, the tasting and nibbles begin at the cookie dough stage. Beware, even the dough tastes really nice! I constantly play around with ingredients and quantities, as I did this time as well. The results were very rewarding and these Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies turned out quite addictive. Fresh out of the oven, it was honestly difficult to stop at one!
If possible, grab a good quality muscovado sugar to make these. I used only muscovado sugar this time around and absolutely loved the deep earthy notes the sugar lent to each bite. I did throw in a spoon of chia seeds too since they were staring at me sitting on the counter. Ingredients do that to me often, talk to me while sitting on my counter, imploring me to experiment with them! Does that happen to you too? I’m glad I threw the chia seeds in coz they worked well in here.
If you’re looking for more cookie recipes, there are plenty on the blog, with eggs and without. There is also a cookie chapter in my cookbook and I love it because it has pretty interesting cookies – Nutella stuffed cookies, eggless biscotti, eggless chocolate raspberry madeleines, eggless chocolate sables, malt cookies, cookies for one, a microwave cookie etc. In addition, it’s packed with loads of chocolate based recipes that look good and are delicious too!
Do tag me on Instagram at Passionate About Baking if you make this, or any other recipe from the blog. I’d love to see it!
