Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup "safe" butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup *safe* milk (we use original Soy Silk)
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. baking soda
12 oz. *safe* chocolate chips. See notes.
NOTE: For dairy-free chocolate chips, we use Guittard (Walmart, Smiths, Albertsons) or SunSpire (health food stores). Ghirardelli semi-sweet is dairy-free, but shares equiptment with dairy products in the processing plant.
- Preheat over to 350 F
- Cream butter and sugars till light and fluffy. Slowly add milk, cream well, then add vanilla. Combine dry ingredients together. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet.
- Bake 8-10 minutes
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and avoid cookies drying out

Debbie,
When I checked on the Guittard chocolate chips it said it shares equipment with dairy products. Just thought you might what to ad it to the list.
Interesting! Mine doesn't say that. But, you bring up an excellent point. Always check the labels and only use my list as guideline. What may be "safe" one week may not be the next. Case in point, I have been buying Sara Lee whole wheat hamburger buns for years and just TODAY discovered they changed their recipe and now contain dairy, dangit!! Thanks Lyssa!
PS...Another thing to consider is that many global companies have manufacturing plants all over the world. The processes may not be the same for all. The products you buy in Qatar may be different than the ones I'm buying here.
haha I wish we had Guittard chocolate chips here! Yes, it is very true though about the processes in which things are made. All of the Nabisco products (like oreos, Ritz crackers etc)we get here are made with milk. Most cereals (which are the same name as they are in the states, but are manufactured in Europe) have milk in them. Just another reason it is so hard for us to live here with allergies and I can't wait to live near a Whole Foods next summer!
