Shortbread Cookie Recipe with No Eggs

Welcome again to my ugly kitchen recipes! Today we are preparing for the holidays with a warm glass of milk and a special kind of shortbread cookie recipe with no eggs…

Sometimes, we just run out of eggs in the refrigerator. And, oftentimes we crave some delicious cookies with melted chocolate.

What better way to problem solve our cravings and “scarce resources” than to make cookies without eggs?

These cookies are thin but soft like the perfect texture of snow. The chocolate oozes all over the cookies, leaving a gleaming drizzle by the fireplace.
