Seasonal recipes are the best by far, most of them handed down through the generations. One of the cookies we loved to set out for Santa was the Chocolate Chip Cookie. Years ago, it was extremely difficuly to find chocolate chips that were guaranteed to be dairy free. We are so lucky to have more brands today with clear allergen labels.
I was able to find the chips in our local Shop Rite™ Grocery store and it was their own brand. All of the other brands were ‘made in a facility that may use milk, etc.’ and therefore unusable. As a bonus, the side of the package also provided an unbeatable recipe that I modified by using dairy-free butter.
Best wishes this holiday season and Merry Christmas!
