Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know you are probably thinking I have completely lost my mind. Hard boiled eggs is cookies??

YES! People, I know it sounds crazy, but everyone who tasted these thought they were the best cookies ever! No one would ever know their secret ingredient!

 

Hard Boiled Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies with Brown Butter - Crazy but seriously SCRUMPTIOUS!!

You seriously cannot taste any egg in these cookies. I promise. They are chewy and soft with crisp outer edges. They have a deep, rich flavor from the brown butter and brown sugar, and they are loaded with 2 kinds of chocolate chips! They have a touch of cinnamon too, which adds such a nice flavor without being overly cinnamony.

Please, do yourself a favor and take a couple of those extra Easter eggs you have laying around, and bake these cookies! Then come back and tell me I’m not crazy after all ๐Ÿ™‚

    Rarely do I ever have leftover hardboiled eggs lying around (I egg salad those ASAP!) but I will make it a point to save a few so I can try these cookies. They look so fudgy and delectable! Pinning!

    Haha. I love this post. I’m all for putting in weird stuff into treats that you can’t taste so I think it’s awesome. ๐Ÿ˜€

    I thought for sure these would only use the yolks, which I have seen before and wanted to try but never did because who has just egg yolks, cooked, sitting around? So I am super intrigued it uses the whites too. So do the HB eggs somehow still bind the cookies?

    What is brown butter? Is it butter that has been browned in a skillet??

    What a perfect use for all those leftover hardboiled eggs! These cookies look so perfect! I’ve used hardboiled egg yolk in a cookie before (a sable), but never the whole egg – can’t wait to try this!

    I must admit I’m pretty intrigued by this recipe! I was expecting to see little bits of hard boiled egg in the cookies which I was thinking might be super weird but these look just like chewy chocolate chip cookies!

    At first I thought your recipe was going to be chocolate chip cookies in the shape of hard boiled eggs!! I didn’t realize you were going to put the eggs in the cookies ๐Ÿ™‚

    Lady, you have me super intrigued here! I am going to try this! Not telling my husband though, he has a hatred for hard-boiled eggs.
