Delicious Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (V, DF)
These Delicious Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are a plant-based spin on a classic delicious chocolate chip cookie. Golden brown edges with a perfectly gooey center. Yummy!
I am an Arizonian, and I’m used to extreme temperatures. Quite frankly, I hate it! So you can understand I was a bit concerned last week in mid-February when I was riding bikes with my kiddos and we were already wearing shorts and I was complaining about how hot it was. The temperature the past couple of days has been just perfect. It has been raining and that makes me super happy! So the change in weather was much needed. Of course, we had to spend the day indoors, which gave me the EXCUSE to bake! What goes well with a cool rainy day you ask? A warm batch of CHOCOLATE Chip Cookies!
Here are just a couple details I find irresistible about these cookies:
- GOOEY, YUMMY and with just the right amount of crispy edges
- Cookie dough is delish (being plant-based of course I had a bite, well a couple of bites, ok three or four)
- Super easy to make
- Vegan, dairy- free & nut- free
- Delightfully paired with a glass of almond milk.
- Most importantly, Husband and Dad approved
They are DAD (my dad who is a meat lover) approved. Every time my dad comes over, he looks to see what I have been baking and always asks about the ingredients because he knows I like to cook vegan. He’ll have a bite and then says “oh they are good”. Then later tells me “they were okay.” Some vegan cookies recipes just didn’t taste like what he was used to. So I surprised him one day with these amazing chocolate chip cookies. “Dad would you like a chocolate chip cookie?” I asked. He replied, “No thank you.” “Dad seriously just try one,” I responded. I gave him one and to my surprise, (actually his!!!), he LOVED them.
He snacked on another and I was forced to send him home with a few more for him and my mom. After my mom had one she immediately called me and said, “I just had the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had.” How sweet mom! (Mom’s are the best aren’t they?) My husband (not a huge dessert lover) absolutely loved them and was reminded of the cookies at his favorite coffee shop. Hopefully when you try this recipe you will find that you enjoy these YUMMY cookies as well as my family did.

i love the vegun butter and will definitely try this..it looks amazing 🙂
They are delicious! I hope you enjoy them! They don’t last long in my house! 🙂
I am dairy-free right now because I am nursing my 3 month old. She had terrible reflux pain. We put her on medication. It helped, but she was still pretty miserable. So I omitted dairy and beef from my diet. With those two foods out and her daily medication, she is like a normal baby! If any one of those pieces are forgotten, our poor baby girl will spend a large portion of her day screaming. :/ I made these cookies tonight and they were amazing! My husband loved them too. 🙂 Thank you for these! I will be sharing this recipe with my sister…she is vegan!
Thank you so much for sharing! I am so glad to hear your little one is feeling better (dairy does a number on their little bodies sometimes). I am so happy to hear you enjoyed these cookies!
