What is a good substitute for butter in chocolate chip cookies?

Most of the time you can use a dairy free butter in any chocolate chip cookie recipe. You can also try using coconut oil, but the texture will be a little bit different if the recipe isn't designed for it.

What chocolate products are dairy free?

As long as the chocolate products don't contain any sort of milk fat or milk solid you're usually good. Some may say "Cocoa Butter," but that isn't any sort of dairy product, it comes from the fat of the cacao bean. Here are some of my favorite dairy free chocolate brands: -HU -Alter Eco -Endangered Species -Green and Black's

Are Nestle chocolate chips dairy free?

Nestle semi sweet chocolate chips contain milkfat so they're not diary free, but they do have an allergen free variety you may be able to find at Walmart.

Where can I buy dairy free chocolate chips?

You should be able to find dairy free chocolate chips in the baking aisle of your local grocery store. I usually use Enjoy Life, but if you can't find them you can always chop up a dark chocolate bar.

Can I make these gluten free?

I have not tested them myself, but you should be about to use a 1:1 gluten free all purpose flour.

Do I need to chill the cookie dough?

No, there is no need to chill this cookie dough. As with most of my cookies, I prefer them to be baked immediately so there's minimal time between making and eating dessert.

Ingredients

Units Scale

1/2 cup room temperature coconut oil (about 70 degrees F )
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 egg- room temperature
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature coconut oil, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together until well mixed and creamy
Next, add the flour, cornstarch (if using), baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients and gently mix until there are no traces of flour
Use a rubber spatula to fold the dairy free chocolate chips into the cookie dough
Roll the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon size balls and place 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown
Carefully pull the baking sheet out of the oven, sprinkle with sea salt, and allow cookies to cool on it for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely

Notes

Use coconut oil that is at room temperature, but not melted
If you don't want to taste any coconut flavor, use refined coconut oil
Do not over mix the chocolate chip cookie dough or the cookies will be tough once baked
Before baking, top the cookie dough balls with extra chocolate for that 'bakery style' look
Bake 8-10 minutes only, they'll look under done but the residual heat from the baking sheet will finish them to perfection
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Or freeze cooled cookies for up to 3 months
