In my continuing effort to not buy any more baked goods, and only eat baked treats I've made myself, a craving for chocolate chip cookies took me over the edge this week. I was ready to go, I even had a special bag of Canadian chocolate chips set aside for just this kind of occasion. With my tong salivating at the idea of these cookies I hit a stumbling block... no eggs. Now sure I could have gone out and bought a carton of eggs for just these cookies, but that would be silly, and require me to actually leave the house.
Instead I looked to the internet for help, and help I found. I discovered many recipes for egg-less chocolate chips cookies, and I manged to alter my recipe just right. Then I wondered, why would anybody want egg-less chocolate chip cookies? I guess there are a few people out there that are allergic too eggs, but I found hundreds of sites offering recipes, too many for the few people that might be allergic. Then I thought that maybe egg-less cookies were vegan, but then I realized that there was butter involved. My only conclusion is, other than the few people allergic too eggs, maybe there are a lot of people in this world too lazy to go out and buy eggs, but really in the mood for fresh homemade cookies.
I think my next baking experience is going to be more candy like, I'm thinking spoon sweets with oranges. Stay tuned.
