The only problem is many homebakers have a preconceived notion that cookies cannot be baked without using eggs. Nothing can be farther from the truth. This small guide mentions a few eggless cookies boasting fruity notes and flaky textures. Bookmark it for the holiday season.

Mango Coconut Cookies

Did you store mangoes in summer to use around this time? It’s time to defrost a batch and keep aside some dried and chopped mangoes. They go directly inside the batter prepared with shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, baking powder, butter, milk, and sugar. Shape this blend into the desired shapes and bake the cookies in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the crust is slightly brown and crispy.

Banana Walnut Cookies

A banana is healthy and acts as a binding agent in the cookie recipe. Walnuts add crunch and amplify the nutritional quotient of the dish. While you prepare the cookie dough, preheat the oven at 175°C. Combine wheat flour, mashed bananas, brown sugar, coconut oil, baking soda, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon powder in a large bowl. Slide the cookies inside the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
