Germany takes its baked goods very seriously. They’ve turned the humble loaf into an art form – using many varieties of flour, seasonings, sweeteners, and flavorings. Most of the below are time-honored traditions, created by long-forgotten generations to make the most of cheap ingredients like wheat and other grains. In times of scarcity, they knew how to turn a boring loaf into something special – stretching it into snacks, desserts, sides, and breakfast....

And I promise; they’re so good that nobody will know they’re egg-free. Believe it or not, eggs aren’t all that important in cookies. Sure, they add moisture, bind the ingredients, and, yes, give them a lift. But are they essential? No!
