Allergy friendly Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies? Yes please! These delicious cookies are free of soy, nuts, eggs, and dairy

Allergy friendly Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies? Yes please! These delicious cookies are free of soy, nuts, eggs, and dairy - @TheFitCookie #glutenfree #dairyfree

I have noticed something about many of my posts (especially when it comes to desserts): I tend to begin with some version of the words “I love…(insert dessert name)”. Hmm…maybe it’s time to try a new writing tactic?

But I guess it’s better than any negative things I could say. But really, who has negative things to say about healthy dessert? Not me!

I have been on a quest for gluten free chocolate chip cookies that are dairy free, allergy friendly, and not loaded with fat and sugar. I finally hit on a great recipe that uses flax meal to keep the cookie moist and soft without too much oil.

Out of the oven, these have a nice crumb on the outside and a nice tender center with lots of gooey chocolate chips.

I am a soft cookie person, so these are perfect for me. You can slightly under-bake these if you like the cookie-dough feel in the middle, and make sure to store these in an airtight container to keep their softness.

But if you are a crunchy cookie person (like my husband), try pressing the dough flat, bake a little bit longer, and leave them out on a baking rack overnight. This should make them nice and crunchy without altering the recipe.

I use this trick when I make cookies so I can have soft ones and my husband can have crunchy ones from the same recipe: it works!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking stone or line a cookie sheet with parchment.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a medium to large bowl, whisk together the milk and flax meal. The flax meal will start to gel and thicken.

  • Add the flour mix to the wet ingredients and blend with the hand blender until mixed well (the dough will be quite firm).

  • Drop cookie dough by Tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until golden.
  • Let rest on baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.

    I have been trying to make non-traditional ingredient cookies for years with no success. These are perfect, they’re delicious, they have good consistency and can’t say it enough, the flavor and texture is perfect! Love them!

  2. Thank you so much for these recipes! I stumbled across your site whilst looking for recipes for my Grandson who is allergic to all proteins in cows milk and eggs. What would you suggest I can use instead of the milk in this recipe? Would soya milk be ok or coconut milk?

    These are so good…SO good…I’m in cookie heaven!! Thank you so much for the awesome recipe. I’m going to use this batter for cookie dough bites too, since it’s eggless. Delicious!
