I have 5 words for you: One Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies. Yup. You only need one bowl to make the most epic and chewy dairy free chocolate chip cookies. These cookies use almond flour and oat flour as their base which allows for a beautiful texture (none of that gluten free sawdust crap).

No one needs to know (or will guess) that these babies are vegan and gluten free!

What You Need To Make These Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
What you need to make these epic one bowl chocolate chip cookies isn’t complicated. You start with a flax egg, which helps to bind the cookies. Once the flax egg has thickened (after 5 minutes) add that room temperature vegan butter, coconut sugar and vanilla. Using hand-beaters or your kitchen aid mixer to mix the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Then start to add the dry ingredients: almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt. Stir with a wooden spoon or the paddle attachment of your kitchen aid until a beautiful cookie texture has formed.
Now for the best part. The chocolate. I love Enjoy Life’s MEGA Chocolate Chunks because they are free of most allergens and they taste dang good. So that is the chocolate I used in these dairy free cookies. If you end up adding a few extra spoonfuls of chocolate to the batter, no one will be angry!
