Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Always seek the advise of your doctor or allergist concerning food allergies. Also, check EVERY LABEL EVERY TIME.

Hi there Katrina fans! This is Dorothy, from Crazy for Crust, the dessert blog where I bake up lots of treats and serve them with a slice of my life.
I wish I could say I was super excited to be here today, but I probably speak for everyone when I say I wish Katrina could be here instead!
But anyway, because she’s not, you’re stuck with me. But don’t be upset – I’m super fun. I love crust – but I love sugar too. Allllll of it. I don’t think I’ve ever met a treat I didn’t like.
I mean, I’m all about buttery, rich, chocolatey things. Like….brownies. Or…brownies in pie. Or funfetti gooey bars.
But can you imagine what it would be like if you couldn’t just grab any old cookie at a party? I cannot imagine what it’s like to have food allergies.
One of my daughters little friends is allergic to dairy. For a baker…that’s kind of catastrophic, right? I mean all the good things have butter in them. Especially cookies!
So when my daughter has her friend over, I always try and make some sort of treat she can have.
FYI, my house is known as the “treat house”. Send your kids to me and I’ll send ’em home sugared up. With a bag for you!
That’s how these dairy-free chocolate chip cookies were born.
I pretty much substituted oil for butter in one of my favorite cookie recipes. I added brown sugar because I just love brown sugar in cookies.
These cookies were really good – even for the butter lovers. They were chewy and dense, like a cookie should be…just without any dairy!
Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and/or silpat baking liners.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir and set aside.
- Stir together oil and sugars.
- Turn mixer (with butter mixture bowl attached) on low. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing completely. Mix in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Add chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8-9 minutes (mine were one tablespoon sized balls and cooked in about 8 minutes). Let cool for 5 minutes, and then remove from pans to cool completely.
I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you’ll come visit me sometime at Crazy for Crust. I’ll talk your ear off and ply you with sugar.
Get well soon Katrina!

We’ve been making these cookies for a few years for my son who is allergic to dairy. We often take them to family gatherings and everyone enjoys them. I also chill the dough before baking but otherwise follow the recipe as written. Thank you!!
I have used this recipe for years! I love it and I get compliments on the cookies! Also I make this recipe in high altitude (Denver CO) and have NOT had to make any adjustments.
Hey. Dont know what the butter mixture comment was about. Did the recipe and it was very
Crumbly and not cookie ready so felt like something missing. Added some almond milk to get right texture. Hoping all works.
Amazing cookies
Amazing! Your recipe has been my “go to”
for years. I am allergic to dairy. I use Ghiradelli dark chocolate chips. My only edit is to chill the dough for 20 min (up to two days) before using. Helps keep shape of cookie when baking. Delicious! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Ghiradelli semi-sweet chips still have milk, perhaps not at the time of this post- but they have whole milk powder in the semi-sweet chips. I’m not laying blame on the author.
Please, when baking for people with allergies check labels carefully.
Very disappointed. Did everything as stated, subbed 2 ener-g eggs bc of egg allergy which work with all other recipes and the mixture is so dry! I can’t even form a cookie!
These are amazing! Great with Gluten free flour, definitely a hit in my house, used coconut oil instead!
Ghirardelli semi sweet chocolate chip list of ingredients state it contains whole milk powder the 60% cacao bag reads it contains milk fatalso that it may contain milk not f out vegan diet reason but for milk allergy reasons
We needed to add 2 tbsp of almond milk since my 4 year old did the flour measuring and the dough was a bit dry. Turned out great though!
No eggs are not dairy. They don’t come from cows or contain milk. This recipe is not vegan but is dairy free.
Just made these for myself and my kids that all struggle with dairy protein allergy and they came out magnificent! We used enjoy life chocolate chips and a cookie scoop so we had to bake for 12 minutes and they all came out perfect! It made 36 cookies! I will be saving this recipe for sure! Thanks so much!
Made these for my 3 year old little girl who cant have the dairy. She loves them. No one notices the different. Amazing Recipe 😋
For me they only made 11 😂! These cookies are fonomanal!
Not only are they delicious, but they look amazing too. Thank you so much for this recipe! Best dairy free cookies I’ve found (son has allergies).
Andrea. I too struggled with suddenly becoming lactose intolerant. You can eat the aged 2 year cheese with 0% sugar. Lactose is aged out.
I use the semi sweet chips at Trader Joes. They are dairy free. The chunks are not dairy free. I substitute butter with coconut oil.
