Egg-less Chocolate cookies

Why egg-less you might wonder, well to be honest I sometimes forget to incorporate the egg into the mixture, but the product still comes out nice and so "poof" I just created an egg - less product by accident. These cookies are easy to make and is suitable for beginner as the ingredient an be substitute with any variation of combinations such as raisins, nuts, chocolate rice, rainbow rice or white/dark/milk chocolates.
