Do all cookies have eggs in them?

Many cookie recipes do use eggs for their binding, structure, and richness. However, there are also plenty of eggless cookie recipes available.

Here are some examples of cookies that are often made without eggs:

* Oatmeal cookies: Many oatmeal cookies rely on the binding properties of oats and other ingredients instead of eggs.

* Shortbread cookies: The high fat content of butter in shortbread creates a crumbly texture without the need for eggs.

* Peanut butter cookies: These often rely on the binding power of peanut butter and a small amount of liquid (like milk or water) to hold them together.

* Vegan cookies: By definition, vegan cookies do not contain eggs. There are many vegan cookie recipes that use alternative ingredients like flax eggs or applesauce to replace the binding and moisture of eggs.

So, while eggs are commonly used in cookie recipes, there are many delicious options for those who want to avoid them or have dietary restrictions.
