HARD BOILED EGG CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
A) Your kids are using them as ammunition in their latest backyard battle.
B) Chopping them up and putting them in your chocolate chip cookies.
C) What hard boiled eggs? You still haven’t found the ones you hid back in 2005.
Note – you do need a food processor for this recipe.
HOW TO MAKE THESE
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, butter, salt, and baking soda in a food processor and process until mixture is the texture of small crumbs.
- Add sugars, vanilla, and boiled eggs. Pulse again until mixture comes together.
- Add chocolate chips and combine by hand using a wooden spoon or clean hands. Egg whites may still be visible in the dough but will disappear as the cookies bake.
- Make golf ball sized balls of cookie dough and place them on parchment lined baking sheets. Flatten balls of dough slightly with your hand.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned.
- Remove cookies from oven and let them sit on the cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Hard Boiled Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 cup butter, cut into small chunks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced finely
- 1¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, butter, salt, and baking soda in a food processor and process until mixture is the texture of small crumbs.
- Add sugars, vanilla, and boiled eggs. Pulse again until mixture comes together. As the dough sits the moisture will bring the dough together but it will be dry at first.
- Add chocolate chips and combine by hand using a wooden spoon or clean hands. Egg whites may still be visible in the dough but will disappear as the cookies bake.
- Make golf ball sized balls of cookie dough and place them on the baking sheets. Flatten balls of dough slightly with your hand.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned.
- Remove cookies from oven and let them sit on the cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Intrigued by the hard boiled eggs.. I tried it. And sure enough Chocolate Chip Cookies were made. Followed the recipe as written.
Ew.
Try it!
Oh my goodness I tried this today and they are very good and fluffy. Cannot see or taste the hardboiled eggs. I have made other cookies before but this one is good and thick. I have never made any comments about anybody’s cookie recipes but this one because it was made with hardboiled eggs lol. I recommend that u guys try it!
Thanks Melody!
These sound strange, yet oddly delicious! I featured this recipe on my blog as a great way to use hardboiled eggs. I’m definitely going to try it!

I find this recipe exquisite. I never thought hard boiled egg could be made into cookies.
Its kind of weird recipe yet I find this one interesting… I’d love to try it too.. thanks for sharing this idea.
This does sound strange, but I’m intrigued to try it. I would think the hard boiled egg bits would remain and you would still be able to taste it in the cookie. How interesting!
i made a half batch this evening knowing that if they were as good as you said, i’d be in trouble. i am patting myself on the back for thinking ahead–they were awesome!
holy smokes!! This is the craziest idea, but so awesome!! Love it!
Stumbling 🙂
@Gwenevere,
I’m not sure if you can just substitute it in any recipe. This recipe has a lot of butter to keep them soft.
Everyone else…would I lead you astray! Seriously, these are good!!!! I was scared too, just try them.
I am not sure I could get over the title. I am not a fan of hard boiled eggs so the thought of them in a yummy chocolate chip cookie, I am not sure I could go there 🙂
So weird so intriguing- I may just give this a try!! 🙂
I have to admit, it sounds a bit revolting to me too. I might have to give it a shot though, just to see for myself. 😉
I have never seen this before, but those cookies look so deliciously beautiful, I just have to try it.
I am thinking about combining 2 of your recipe ideas and making Bacon and Egg chocolate chip cookies….sounds yummy!!
Thanks for the awesome ideas!! Nina
Made this today and they are awesome! I will remember this after ever easter and I’m considering putting in left over easter candy instead of chocolate chips!
sounds kinda disgusting to me too !! but will try if you are telling me its good 🙂
What an awesome idea! I love it- so creative to use the hard boiled eggs. 🙂 Thanks for posting.
was that me? 🙂 miss you! when you be this way?
So how does the math come out? If you use one raw egg, how would you measure the cooked ones? Would it be one raw for one cooked?
Thanks!
When I saw the title I was like, “Gross! Eggs in cookies?!” Then I realized I was retarded because of course there are eggs in cookies. I’m going to have to give this a try for sure. LOVE your recipes!
Isn’t the idea that the raw eggs helps to bind together the ingredients? It seems weird that a boiled egg would still do this.
I have never heard of that but I might just give it a try!

What!? This is so neat, I’ve never heard of using boiled eggs in baking. The cookies look so thick and soft! Great idea. 🙂
Why does that seem so weird?? I need to try it!
wow thats so innovative! ive never heard of this technique before but now i’m dying to bake a batch of cookies and see how they turn out
I hate hard boiled eggs but am always up for something this creative and useful! I may just have to try this recipe this week and let you know what I think!
Such an interesting idea – I’ll be trying this soon! Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow! I had no idea you could bake cookies with hard-boiled eggs. Great idea!
This is a neat idea! Why NOT use hard boiled eggs?? I’ve got to try this!
Very, very interesting! Can’t wait to try this out.
After spending yesterday in the hospital because of too much raw cookie dough, I can definitely say I WILL be making these!!! Thank you! What perfect timing for this post. I thought I’d have to swear off of cookie dough forever. Hope this cookie dough tastes as yummy as the raw stuff.
I’ve made these before and they were great! It sounds weird, but they really make a wonderful cookie.
So is the theory that you can use hard-boiled eggs in ANY cookie recipe?
oh, WOW, I am definitely intrigued! I want to make these just to see what the flavor is like… I LOVE a hard boiled egg!
Wow that’s a fantastic idea! I would’ve never thought this could be done.
