6 great cookies to make without eggs (Denver Post) {actually mostly links & pointers to recipes}

By Bay Area News Group

Nanaimo bars. This Canadian specialty is a no-bake three-layer bar: a base of nuts, coconut, graham cracker crumbs and melted chocolate; a middle of custard or buttercream frosting; and a chocolate top. Caveat: Many recipes call for an egg in the bottom layer to help hold it together; this one doesn’t. For a less ambitious cookie that uses a recipe similar to just the base, search for no-bake chocolate coconut snowballs.

Mexican wedding cookies. Also known as snowballs or Russian tea cakes, these are buttery nut-based balls rolled in powdered sugar. Many recipes online; here’s cookie queen Maida Heatter’s version.
***
Ginger snaps: Most molasses cookies and ginger snaps use eggs, but the recipe for Aunt Big’s Gingersnaps in Mark Bittman’s “How to Cook Everything” is egg-free. Bittman describes them as “not too sweet … super-crisp, the kind that stick in your teeth.”
***
Yogurt chocolate chip cookies: An easy drop cookie that — except for yogurt replacing the eggs — uses the same ingredients as the Toll House classic.

People are acting as if they'll literally die if they go 24 hours between eggs.

Don't recall this before.

American's are stupidly reactive. They don't think at all....

Eggs, toilet paper, who knows what's next.

Here in the senior center the main thing is getting to the dining room by 4:30.

trying my best to tough it out here at home. Besides, I paid cash for this house (poor excuse of one, that it is)... I'm gonna hope to die in my own bedroom someday. But I will admit, the sound of "assisted living" hasn't been sounding so bad the last few months!

Butter, sugar, flour, pinch of salt. That's it.

I didn't say they were good for you, but they sure taste good.
