Step 2 Add eggs one at a time, allowing for the egg to completely incorporate. Then add the vanilla extract to the mix.

Step 3 Stir the salt, flour, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Then add it to the creamed mixture.

Step 4 Stir in chocolate chips and pecans (if using) or you can add your favorite candy like M&M’s or Reese’s cups (would recommend).

Step 5 Portion out onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes. Pull out of the oven and let the cookies cool.

You can make them as big or small as you like, and the cookie dough is an excellent treat to eat. I tend to eat the cookie dough while I am waiting for the cookies to bake. (You’re more likely to get salmonella poisoning from raw chicken than eggs.)

SUBSTITUTES FOR ALLERGIES Egg: Applesauce. One-fourth cup is a common substitute for one egg in a baking recipe. Or use a banana. Half a mashed, ripened banana can work in place of one egg.

Flour: Teff flour, brown rice flour, chickpea flour, pureed black beans. Any of the flour subs can be used in the same amount.
