Can These cookies be made without the egg? I am planning to make for some guests who do not eat egg ?

Here’s a shortbread cookie recipe that looks a lot like the cookies in the photo: https://food52.com/recipes/30953-proper-shortbread

You might try an egg substitute but I think a better idea is to find an eggless cookie like a sable

Thanks, Abbie! The sablé you posted actually has an egg yolk in it, and it has been so long since I’ve made them that I don’t remember whether it can be eliminated.

Egg substitute because the egg operates as a fat and a raising agent. Without the egg, the cookies will be drier and flatter.
Or, yes, use a cookie recipe developed without any egg.
