Egg Head
There are egg replacements available at most health food stores. Eggs provide protien, fat and create a liason with butter and sugar holding air in creaming. The substitutes aren't perfect but help. I think off the top of my head of the no bake chocolate cookies Matt asked for last fall, shortbreads, Italian nut rolls that are made with yeast, bar cookies with a shortbread crust and various toppings, the Magic 7 layer bars, Applesauce Cake, Wacky Cake were one's I grew up with.
Wacky cake
Combine
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons soda
1 teaspoon salt
Add
2 cups water
1 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix lightly and pour into 9X13 pan and put into the oven quickly before the vinegar and soda lose their kick. Bake 30 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
Most egg substitutes are in a starch base with a touch of sugar, emulsifiers to replicate the liason effect, soybean oil, carotene for color and gums and stablizers. If you were good at it you can almost make up your own modifications.
It won't help your friend but you can substitute 2 tablespoons of mayonaise for an egg in a recipe if you happen to run out.
