We have 25 gluten free dairy free cookie ideas, with nutty cookies, thumbprint cookies, spiced cookies, oatmeal cookies, macaroons and so many more. I know you'll find one (or many!) you love!

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Cookie Recipes

We have so many different sweet treats to choose from for a variety of dietary requirements for our afternoon baking:

• Gluten free cookies - rather than using regular wheat flour (such as all purpose flour) these cookies all use gluten free flour such as almond flour or oats (make sure you use certified gluten free oats such as the Bob's Red Mill gluten free rolled oats).
• Dairy free cookies - none of these cookies use regular butter and instead use vegan butter, coconut oil or a chia or flax egg instead.
• AIP cookies - we have some delicious cookies to try for a fun snack or dessert!
• Low histamine cookies - the turmeric cookies, coconut macadamia nut cookies, blackberry oat cookies and others are suitable for a low histamine diet per the SIGHI list. Others may be suitable with some low histamine ingredient swaps.
• Egg free cookies - many of the recipe below are both dairy free and egg free cookies and use a flax egg or other thickener.

Just a note - make sure to use certified gluten free oats or oat flour for your cookies if you have that dietary requirement, even if it's not stated in the recipe!
