Egg substitute in cookies?

I'm lazy and not in the mood to run to the store.  I really want to make chocolate chip cookies though.  Any ideas?

do you mean that you want to use an egg substitute (like egg beaters), or that you don't have any egg-like substances at all and are wondering what you can use in place of eggs altogether?

The latter.  DH used the eggs I was saving this morning at breakfast and I didn't realize it.

Not worth it. Just wait until you have eggs. They're pretty much required for a decent cookie.

I've used a substitute that involved baking soda, baking powder, and water. It didn't affect the flavor of the cookies but it made them thin and crispy and a little dense.  But if you want chocolate chip cookies, they would probably do the trick.  Let me see if I can find it.

You, my dear, are a genius. Cookie dough is my absolute weakness.

Okay Gia I'm trying that recipe.  Hopefully I don't eat all my little Ghiradelli chocolate chips before I finish mixing.

I am actually going through a pack of chocolate chips as I nest... 

I'm not sure, but I think soy flour with water can be used as an egg substitute. I've never tried it.

I'm allergic to eggs--when I make a recipe that calls for eggs, I just leave the eggs out. Sometimes I add a dollop of yogurt of sour cream for moistness. My cakes come out crumbly as hell but very tasty--cookies are usually just fine.
