Oatmeal cookies are always a delight to have, be it just plain or for breakfast. Normally i would make these with eggs and wondered how a cookie would taste if made eggless. I found this Eggless oatmeal Cookies from Food.com which looked easy to start with simple ingredients and was appealing with good reviews. Gave it a try right away, the recipe was for 3 dozen cookies, which was a lot for us so had to downsize. I halved the recipe and the cookies turned out awesome….

Notes
- Makes 12 cookies
- Make sure your butter soft but kind of stiff to avoid cookies turn out flat.
- Regular Rolled or Quick cooking oats will work for this recipe. Instant oats will not work for baking these cookies.
- To much beating will also make the cookies turn out flat while baking.
- Refrigerating the dough for couple of hours before baking also helps them to rise better.
- Nuts, chocolates & raisins are optional but does give the kind of texture and taste while grabbing a bite.
- I’ve used chocolate chunks you may use any kind of chips.. dark, semi sweet or milk chocolate.
- I’ve have used dark brown sugar and hence the edges look dark. Color changes depending on the sugar used.
- Serve them plain or dunk it in milk.
- Sorry for not posting steps as some of my pictures turned dark and were not clear but will include soon as i am planning on baking it again.

How does one measure 1/8 cup of water
1/8 cup=1 ounce=2 tablespoons
I prepared this last week too.. Same pinch. 😉 These are one yummy batch of cookies.
I will definitely try this pa.. Can u use old fashioned instead of rolled oats
Can we use quick cooking oats
Maha,
Quick cooking oats will work for this recipe, I ‘ve used regular oats which is nothing but rolled oats which are much bigger in size compared to quick oats which are slightly smaller but taste the same, just the texture varies. Do not use instant oats which are more like a powder and doesn’t suit for baking. Hope this helps and happy baking. Thanks.
How to make with egg ???
Healthy tasty and gorgeous looking cookies. Lovely blog Mullai!
Dear these oatmeal cookies look supremely yummy. Even without using eggs, the texture looks so perfect. Loaded with walnuts and chocolate chips, this must be yumminess with every bite. I would love to dunk them in my coffee and savour them along with the goodness of oats. Yummy.
