“What are you going to give up for Lent?” Someone at church asked. Before I could use my filter, I said “My whole life is Lent!”
The first year of food allergies felt like I was living in a season of eternal sacrifice. I was waiting for someone to give me a cookbook of safe recipes. But there just wasn’t one free of ALL my allergens.
Guess I’ll have to make that cookbook myself! How do you make a cookbook free of allergens?

Today we’re breaking a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies. How do we do this?
A standard chocolate chip recipe calls for butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, flour, salt, and baking soda.
Because our cookies will be free of most allergens, our ingredients will be different. We’ll need grain free flour, click here for the easy recipe for my grain-free flour, coconut oil, vanilla flavoring, chickpea flour, coconut milk, coconut sugar, organic white sugar (beet or cane is great), salt, xanthan gum, cream of tartar and baking soda.

Notes
Let’s See It Happen!
It Really Is That Easy To Make Allergen Friendly Vegan Cookies!
If you need to run right out now and bake cookies, I support that choice. Remember to pin this recipe, so you’ll have it for next time. Once you have your ingredients and a recipe, breaking a recipe is as easy as making a recipe. The only difference is that the results are allergen friendly, even if no one can tell they are!
Avoiding Allergens often means watching people eat foods while you abstain. Sure, you don’t get sick. But when there’s no alternative for you to eat, it gets old fast! You deserve cookies that are safe and delicious!
Next time you have a gathering to attend, bake yourself some slamming Vegan, Allergen Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies and take them with you! You can share all 5 dozen, or you can freeze them and defrost them as you need them. The dough also freezes and can be baked at a later time.
Whether you decide to share these cookies with other guests at the gathering or not, you’ll have a delicious dessert that you can enjoy safely. Be careful if you share, they’ll ask you to bring these cookies again!
