Our sweet family has been blessed with many things. One of them being food allergies. Most of the time I am so grateful for food allergies. I know that statement to some might sound insane, but I truly have seen the blessings in our life because of them. This time of year however, has a few draw backs when it comes to food allergies. The fact that our sweet oldest can never have any kind of cookie(normally), is kind of a problem. So a sweet friend of mine found this recipe for me and I had forgotten all about over these past few months. I thought though that I should "pass it on" to someone who might know or have a child with egg/nut allergies. Below you will find a recipe for EGG FREE Choc. Chip cookies. Un-heard of normally, but this amazing women has figured it out. So, I hope this finds itself in the hands of someone else who really needs it.
For me, I just wish my hands actually wanted to bake them!! Maybe next year...
My Ultimate Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie
Yields about 4 dozen cookies
Allergy Note: contains dairy and wheat
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butter or margarine, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large mixer bowl, cream together butter, sugar, brown sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla. Gradually blend dry mixture into butter/sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop heaping tablespoons (I use a 18/8 cookie scoop) onto ungreased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375ºF for 9 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown.
