Completely without eggs or just without fresh eggs? There are egg substitutes you can use or even powered eggs. Hard to give advice without knowing why you don't want eggs in the mix.

mostly because i don't have any in the fridge, lol :) so ones with egg substitue wouldn't be too useful because i don't have that on hand either! Thanks for pointing that out to me!!

LOL, some people just don't like to bake with eggs, others have allergies. You ran out lol, umm, ok lol. I would say look at some vegan sites for recipes; vegans don't eat anything made from animals or animal byproducts so if you are going to find them anywhere, that would be the best place to start.

I was looking for something along the same lines, and ran across this intereesting article instead: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Edible-Cookie-Dough I'll be watching this discussion, though, to see what suggestions come up for the kind that get baked. So far, I've had some success with adding evaporated milk in place of eggs and part of the butter, but the suggestion someone made of substituting mayonnaise did not work for me.

Some claim that the roasted flesh of carob pods tastes similar to sweetened cocoa, and promote products based on this fruit as a substitute for chocolate, usually referred to simply as "carob". Similarly, it is sometimes made into "chips", for use in baking

those both sound really good - would not have thought to use sour cream! If you don't mind me asking, what are carob chips? Are they like chocolate chips but healthier??
