Looking for easy cookie recipes without butter? You will love this recipe for no butter chocolate chip cookies!

I love all cookies and sometimes you want to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie but realize you are out of butter! Check out this recipe for Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Butter Recipe!

We will be spending a lot of time in the kitchen making cookies for the holidays. My daughter loves to bake and we make a big mess! All my recipes are digital so we cook with my iPad on the counter. I am so thankful we have a Rug-Ed case to protect my iPad from spills and drops!

 

 

 

This is a classic cookie recipe that will be a perfect addition to your recipe box.

Butter is usually the main ingredient of cookies but this recipe is a great way to make butterless cookies. This easy recipe makes chewy cookies that you will love!

Another reason people like to make a no butter cookie recipe is that canola oil has less saturated fat than butter.

 

 

Tips for this butterless chocolate chip cookies recipe:

• I like to use a standup mixer. You can use an electric mixer or mix it by hand but it will be a little more work.
• I never bake with ingredients at room temperature – so there is no need to take the eggs out early to make these delicious cookies.
• You can make these without chilling the dough but they will spread more. They still taste perfect – so it’s up to you if you want to chill the dough or put it straight into the oven!
• There are different types of oil but I prefer canola oil for this cookie recipe since it’s flavorless. Olive oil tastes too heavy and avocado oil and unrefined coconut oil would mess with the flavor of the cookies

Let’s talk about the texture of these cookies. When I take them out of the oven, they have a little bit of crunch to them. But after you let them sit out for a little bit the cookies get very soft. They are almost like Subway cookies. It’s a pretty delicious cookie! You have to try this recipe!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Without Butter

• 3/4 cup – canola oil (or vegetable oil)
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or more if you like lots of chips or switch out for M&Ms)

 

 

Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Butter Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

 

 

Add the eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla extract in a large bowl of a stand-up mixer. Mix together until creamy – about 1 minute.

 

 

Add in the dry ingredients – Add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly turn on the mixer to combine. As the flour is combined you can increase the speed and mix for about 45 seconds. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides. Make sure the flour mixture is combined well with the wet ingredients.

 

 

Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until just combined so that you do not overmix.

 

 

Scoop the cookie balls onto the cookie sheet with a tablespoon or cookie dough scoop and place the dough balls onto the parchment covered baking sheet. Place cookies about 3 inches apart so they don’t spread into each other while baking.

 

 

Bake cookies for 9 minutes or until golden brown. (If the dough is not chilled 9 minutes is perfect. If you chill the dough – bake for 10 minutes.)

 

 

For best results leave cookies on the baking tray to cool for about 3 minutes. Use a cookie spatula to remove the chocolate chip cookies and place the homemade chocolate chip cookies on a wire rack in order to cool completely.

 

 

Let the cookie sheet cool for a few minutes before you scoop dough onto the cookie sheet again.

Enjoy these cookies with a little milk! Store in an airtight container or cookie jar for up to 3 days.
