The Best 20+ Dairy-Free Cookie Recipes

Being dairy-free does not mean you need to miss out on your favorite cookies! Here is an exhaustive list of all the best dairy free cookies recipes on the internet. Whether you are craving a simple chocolate chip cookies, or want something more seasonal, like a pumpkin cookie, you will find it here. All recipes are also vegan.

TIPS FOR DAIRY-FREE BAKING

Dairy free baking does not need to be hard! Some of the best types I have for it are:

Use dairy free block butter. Block butter bakes the most similarly to real butter. Vegan and non dairy butter spreads taste great, but do have extra oils added into them to make them so spreadable, which can result in your dairy free cookies expanding a little too much. My favorite block butters are: Trader Joe's; Country Crock (you can use the olive oil or avocado oil); and Miyokos.
Use plain, unsweetened plant based milk. Unless otherwise indicated in the directions, use plain, unsweetened plant base milk to ensure the flavor your baked goods do not change. If you are truly in a pinch, unsweetened vanilla can also work. Avoid any sweetened plant based because they can cause the recipe to be overly sweet! I like to use plain, unsweetened almond milk, oat milk or soy milk when baking.
Check your chocolate chips. To ensure your baked good is completely dairy free, do not forget to use dairy free chocolate chips. Some popular brands for dairy free chocolate chips are: Enjoy Life and Ghirardelli. Both can be find at most grocery stores in the baking aisle. You can also use dark chocolate chips, but always check the label! Just because they are dark chocolate does not man they are always dairy free. Some dark chocolate chip brands I like are: Lilys Dark Chocolate Chips and Hu No Added Sugar Keto Chocolate Chips. Both can be find at Whole Foods in the baking aisle or on Amazon.
