Gluten and Dairy Free Cookies designed to impress!
If you’re in club gluten and dairy free, welcome! One of the saddest parts of being a part of this club is the loss of the beloved chocolate chip cookie. With all purpose flour and butter and milk chocolate chips, it’s a gluten and dairy free gal’s unfortunate enemy.
Lucky for you though, I have perfected the gluten and dairy free cookie so that it tastes and looks like the real deal but is made with gluten free and dairy free ingredients. In fact, I’ve created close to 20 different cookie recipes that everyone in the club can enjoy!
Ingredients needed for Gluten Free Dairy Free Cookies
There are tons of gluten free and dairy free ingredients nowadays. Here are my favorite types and brands:
- Gluten free 1:1 flour - Gluten free flour blends are incredible these days and typically contain multiple high quality gluten free flours that provide a texture and taste much like all purpose. King Arthur Measure for Measure Flour and Bob's Red Mill Gluten free 1:1 Flour are my go-to.
- Oat flour - This has become one my favorite gluten free flours to use as it is the closest to all purpose flour in my option. Although you can make your own, I prefer store bought oat flour for optimal results.
- Almond flour - This is a great affordable gluten free flour for those that don't have an issue with nuts. You can also usually find almond flour in most grocery stores in the baking aisle. Blue Diamond is a great brand!
- Tapioca flour - A must have pantry item for most gluten free baking. This flour helps to soften gluten free flour which can sometimes be dense. Arrowroot starch is a great substitute as well. Bob's Red Mill Tapioca Starch and Anthony's Tapioca Flour are my top choices.
- Coconut oil - Typically used in dairy free baking in place of butter. No, you won't be able to taste much of the coconut flavor if you buy the right kind. Opt for refined coconut oil as it has a milder flavor. I buy this kind from Costco and will pick up a jar of this from the store when I only need a little.
- Dairy free butter - You can now find vegan butter in most grocery stores now! Earth Balance Buttery Sticks is my go-to.
