What happens when you want to make some kind of baked good, but realize you don't have any eggs? You go looking through the vastness of the internet to find a recipe sans egg, of course. Because who wants to run to the grocery store when you were just there and forgot to get said eggs? Not this girl. The good news? There IS flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla and chocolate chips in the cupboards. Surely something can be done!
Lo, these egg-less oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! Now, I'm going to tell you straight. These aren't going to be like your normal cookies. They're a bit flatter, a bit easier to break apart. 'Cause, you know, eggs are a binder after all. But if you bake them just long enough, they will hold together okay. And if you don't, and they start breaking up all over the place? Why, just sprinkle those bits over some ice cream, duh!
Using quick cooking oats in this recipe gives these cookies a bit more crunch than using regular old-fashioned oats. In fact, it will make them just slightly reminiscent of these Lacy Oatmeal Cookies, but not quite as crispy crunchy.
These will make about 3 dozen of these flat, chewy, slightly crunchy cookies that have a nice vanilla flavor without being too sweet. And if you can't eat eggs? More's the better for you!
Also? A side note! This is my 500th post on the blog! Wow!

- Butterscotch Cookies
I know not everyone is a big butterscotch fan, though I can't say I really know why! Because I do love me some butterscotch. My question, however, is this - what even is butterscotch? I mean, it's basically just sugar, right? Like, sort of caramelized...
- Vanilla Pudding Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies
I know, I know. I've been posting a LOT of cookie recipes on here lately! Sometimes I just get in a cookie phase and cannot be stopped, what can I say. These particular cookies are a take on a traditional chocolate chip, which I have made many varieties...
- Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have a problem. A chocolate chip cookie problem. No matter how many I make, I will always try a new recipe, even if there's one that I really like already. Why? I don't know. I mean, just let me list off the various ones I have tried (and enjoyed!):...
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are a staple of mine that I bust out whenever I feel like a quick batch of cookies. Except that I always forget that they're not necessarily as quick as you'd like, because you do have to refrigerate the dough for 1-3 hours. Details,...
- Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a go to cookie for virtually any occasion, and I have been trying to hunt down a recipe that knocks my socks off for a while. I'll probably post each time I try a new recipe, because while these ones were good, they weren't...

Butter, sugars and vanilla get mixed together.
Then you add in your flour and salt.
