I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the latest forecast from the USDA shows that egg prices are expected to increase 41%. That's over double what their forecast was a month ago.

In recipes, eggs are a binding ingredient to help thicken and add moisture to cookies/cakes/whatever. So if you're skipping them, you still need something that can also make the mix cohesive and moist.

Personally, I love baked goods (cookies especially) so how can we make them without eggs? Bakers much smarter than I have come up with a list of nearly 20 things we can use as egg substitutes in things.

Mind you, some of these sound weird because they are. You wouldn't necessarily have this stuff on your weekly grocery list but if you (like I do from time to time) decide you need to make cookies, these are things that can fill in for the ever-so-pricey egg.
