Chocolate chip cookies #12: Based on Art of Dessert’s Ultimate Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies. Baked on 8/24/12.
While watching the Florida vs. South Carolina football game today I’m going to start catching up on posting recipes. I have at least half a dozen recipes that I’ve tried since I last posted one (almost two months ago) so there’s a lot of ground to cover. Writing about food also helps keep me from sitting on the couch, biting my fingernails, and stressing out over the football game. Go Gators!
I neglected to snap a picture of these cookies before I took them to work to share with me colleagues, but honestly they weren’t much to look at. If you’ve seen one chocolate chip cookie bar you’ve seen them all, right? I’m always on the lookout for innovative chocolate chip cookie recipes these days and what makes this particular recipe unique is that cream cheese is substituted for eggs. I was intrigued by the concept and pleasantly surprised by the outcome! Not that I think these are serious contenders for the title of best homemade chocolate chip cookie (a title I plan to bestow on one special recipe by the end of the year), but I thought they were pretty good and so did my co-workers. So if you’re allergic to eggs or if you simply don’t have any on hand, cream cheese is a perfectly viable substitute!
