Soy Free Egg Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you don’t have or deal with food allergies, you probably aren’t as excited for Soy Free Egg Free Chocolate Chip Cookies as I am. Let me tell you, when you have a two year old with a bunch of food allergies, including soy, it’s a challenge to give her something equivalent to the yummy treats her brother is eating. I mean, he was already eating all this good stuff before she was born, so I can’t take it away now, right? Hot topic. Some people think yes, take it all out of the house. I can’t bring myself to do it, so instead I take on the ridiculous task of trying to replicate everything he eats into an allergy friendly form (ie: Allergy Friendly Cheez It).

If you’re unfamiliar with soy allergies, just know, it sucks. Soy is in EVERYTHING! Breads, cookies, crackers, chocolate, candy, spices, broth you name it, there’s a chance it contains soy. Our allergist informed us when she was diagnosed that most people with soy allergies are okay to consume soybean oil and soy lecithin. For us unfortunately, that is not true. We have found while she is okay to consume small amounts of soybean oil, she is certainly NOT okay ingesting soy lecithin. Unfortunately, this is a huge pain, because soy lecithin does not have to be specifically mentioned as an allergy at the bottom of ingredient lists. You can imagine how long my grocery shopping takes, reading every ingredient on every item I buy. It’s tedious.

Last week I shared with you Allergy Friendly Banana Cookies which were good, but Nora would not touch. I think the missing ingredient was chocolate. The tough part of baking allergy friendly cookies is finding a chocolate chip that is soy free. I have found the Enjoy Life

chips work best for my recipes.

I scoured the internet for egg free chocolate chip cookies (figured I could easily adapt to soy free by using the soy free chips) but a lot of them had a ton of weird ingredients I have never heard of, so I passed. I finally found one over on Bunch of Cooks that was close to what I was looking for. It still didn’t sound exactly to my liking, so I used that as my base recipe and made a few of my own changes, including adding Coconut Oil

!

I’m happy to report that this one was winner! Whenever I decide to adapt a recipe, I’m always fearing that I should have just stuck to the original, but I absolutely loved these. All of us enjoyed them, not just the one with the allergy! But she was over the moon!

FOR DAIRY ALLERGY: Instead of using butter, use Earth Balance Dairy/Soy Free Buttery Spread
