Experience the wonder of Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies. Warm, chocolatey goodness in each bite that is made in less than 30 minutes!

Dairy free chocolate chip cookies.

There is nothing better than a freshly baked cookie. Taking a bite out of a classic warm, chewy, chocolate chip cookie makes all things better, and this dairy free recipe is no different.

In my extended family I have members who are dairy free and for gatherings and holidays I typically make my famous Dairy Free Brownies, but I figured why not whip up a batch of delicious dairy free chocolate chip cookies? You are going to love how they melt in your mouth, and you genuinely will not be able to taste the difference.

Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for dairy free chocolate chip cookies.

Vegan Butter – An easy substitute for regular butter. I recommend Earth Balance or Country Crock when it comes to choosing plant based or vegan butter.

Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips – My favorite are the Toll House Allergy Free Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. They are the BEST tasting and cleanest option when it comes to any allergy or dietary restrictions.

FAQs

Can I use Chocolate Chunks instead of Chocolate Chips in my Dairy Free Cookies?

Of course! You are open to add any additional toppings into your cookie recipe. I also like topping these cookies with sea salt after baking for an added taste and texture.

Where can I find dairy free chocolate chips?

Most grocery stores should carry an option dairy free chocolate chips but you can also find them here on Amazon.
