These allergy-friendly chocolate chip cookies are made without dairy, egg, gluten, nuts, and soy, but they don’t require any fancy ingredients. They’re even gum-free and completely butterless. Despite their simplicity, they’ve still been dubbed the “People’s Choice” cookies for their perfectly sweet flavor and lightly chewy texture.<\/p>\n

Allergy-Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies with No Need for Special Ingredients<\/h2>\n

This recipe is from\u00a0Cookies for Everyone!<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Leslie Hammond and Betsy Laakso. These ladies skip substitutions, and instead rely on baking basics to create sweet treats. They shun dairy alternatives, egg substitutes, and gluten-free baking blends. For the flour, they keep it simple with rice flour and tapioca starch. These might sound specialty, but both been around for decades. And, they can even be substituted if absolutely needed. We’ve added some options in the FAQs below.<\/p>\n

What Can I Substitute for the White Rice Flour?<\/h3>\n

In a pinch, you could use brown rice flour or sorghum flour. You could also substitute your favorite gluten-free flour blend for both the rice flour and the starch. Just make sure your blend doesn’t contain any gums.<\/p>\n

Can I Substitute Coconut Flour for the Rice Flour?<\/h3>\n

Coconut flour is not a suitable 1:1 substitute for rice flour. Grain-free flours in general behave quite differently in baked goods than grain-based flours. But coconut flour is also extremely dry. It requires a lot more moisture in the recipe and creates much more delicate results (you usually need lots of eggs with it!).<\/p>\n

What Can I Substitute for the Tapioca Starch?<\/h3>\n

You could use arrowroot starch or cornstarch instead. You could also substitute your favorite gluten-free flour blend for both the rice flour and the starch. Just make sure your blend doesn’t contain any gums.<\/p>\n

What Type of Oil Should I Use?<\/h3>\n

Leslie and Betsy use vegetable oil, but be aware that it can be made with soybean oil. You can use your favorite neutral-tasting oil for baking. Some popular ones include canola oil, rice bran oil, grapeseed oil, and extra-light (not extra-virgin) olive oil. If you opt to use coconut oil, melt it, and make sure the water you use is at room temperature. Also, keep in mind that unrefined coconut oil might influence the flavor of these allergy-friendly chocolate chip cookies a little.<\/p>\n

Can I Substitute Buttery Spread for the Oil?<\/h3>\n

I can’t recommend this. You might need to make other adjustments to the recipe since the butter alternative would add more water and would be lower in fat.<\/p>\n

Where Can I Get Allergy-Friendly Chocolate Chips?<\/h3>\n

I like to use\u00a0Enjoy Life<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Chocolate Chips<\/strong><\/a>, and that’s what Betsy and Leslie use, too. They are sold in stores, but I usually order them online.<\/p>\n

Can I Use Milk Alternative instead of Water?<\/h3>\n

You can, but there’s really no need to. Just use water and save the milk alternative for cookie dunking!<\/p>\n
