These Hard Boiled Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies are SO delicious! They taste just like a regular Chocolate Chip Cookie, but with a thick, soft texture. I LOVED these!
Ok, I get that these sound weird.
Gross even?
But trust my dear friends, I shant tell a lie.
Here’s the thing. I have basically made every type of Chocolate Chip Cookie under the sun. For real.
I feel like it’s getting a little old at this point…but thus I continue.
Also, I have been watching a lot of Game of Throne lately, so I find myself using olden-days type of words into my everyday speak.
Anyway, like I said last week I am working with Challenge Butter this year…and I was poking around their website at recipes and came across this Hard Boiled Egg Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe and knew I must make.
Because weird.
So anyhow, I gave it a go, because I have about 2 dozen hard boiled eggs left from Easter that I need to start using up.
(FYI, I googled how long hard boiled eggs were good for after boiled and it said 7 days in the fridge)
So basically I knew time was running out. It was a cookie emergency.
I even made a quick little video to prove to you that these, not only work, but might be your new favorite way to make chocolate chip cookies!
Gooey, soft and delicious…with no eggs bits in sight. I knew you would ask!
You’ll notice these cookies are a touch more dense than a normal CCC…and the dough is a bit dryer, but obvi because there are no wet eggs. Don’t fret, it’s fine.
Avoid Over Baking Hard Boiled Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies
I actually prefer a denser cookie. The trick though is the baking time. Please oh please don’t over bake these guys. Under bake them, even. If you cook them all the way through you will have hard dry cookies. Yuck.
Grab 2 hard boiled eggs. And peel them, for the love.
Dice those eggs up small…
Dump them into your dough…
And chocolate chips…of course.
Your batter will be pretty standard, just a little drier. Also, yes you might see bits of egg…don’t worry about this.
Scoop your dough into a lined baking sheet…
And bake them until they are golden around the edges. Again, do not over bake.
They actually turn out to be the prettiest chocolate chip cookies ever!!
Give them a shot, I’d love to hear your opinion!

Description
These Hard Boiled Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies are SO delicious! They taste just like a regular Chocolate Chip Cookie, but with a thick, soft texture. I LOVED these!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and very small diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand or electric mixer, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, approximately 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla diced eggs and continue mixing. (You will still see egg bits in the batter, this is ok)
- Add in baking soda, salt and flour and mix until combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop onto prepared pan using a medium (2- tablespoon) cookie scoop.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges begin to golden. You don’t want to over-bake these, if in doubt under-bake. Because of the lack of wet eggs, the batter will be dry, making cookie dense. Over-baking will produce hard, dry cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet for 4 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days.

What about grating the hard-boiled eggs instead of chopping? Would that blend in better?
I would have thought this was an April Fools joke. . . if it had been a few days earlier. Is the dough yummy, too? I will have to try since I love choco chip cookies!
This is a fun new way to make a cookie! They look amazing 🙂
Would never have thought to put hard boiled eggs into a cookie before. I think its genius!
I made these tonight. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try such an unexpected twist to chocolate chip cookies. They are interesting and delicious! It was difficult to finely chop the egg whites so you can still see some bits and pieces here and there. I wonder if I just cut up the yolk and left the eggs whites out what would change in the consistency of the cookies…? Thanks for posting this recipe!
My eggs seems to blend right into the cookies, with no white bits to be seen. Maybe using a food processor is another option!
Perfect suggestion! I realized it could also be because I used packaged hard boiled eggs and not fresh… The consistency of the egg whites is slightly tougher than fresh. Thanks!
OK, you have me intrigued. I thought I had heard of (or made!) every chocolate chip cookie twist under the sun, but you found a new one. Clearly, I’ll need to eat at least 10 for “research.”
Ok,I am SO making these tomorrow! It’s funny because I was about to bake the other day with my 5 year old daughter and I told her we need 4 eggs…I looked in the fridge and all I had was hard boiled eggs! Ack! I told her we had to run to the store for eggs and she couldn’t understand why we couldn’t just use the boiled ones. Now I wish I would have tried it! Can’t wait to try these!
This is a blast from the past! I think the egg trick is an Italian thing for short bread; anyway it sure make cookies tasty!
Love this recipe, have to try it again soon just for old times sake 🙂
I have to admit at first I was a little freaked out…but these look super yummy! Going to have to try them next time I have some left over eggs.
Wait. Hard boiled eggs? In chocolate chip cookies? Never, ever in a bajillion years would I have thought this up, but you know what? Your goods have never let me down thus far, so imma try them. You have totally piqued my intrigue.
