Dairy Free Soy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (MSPI)

You would never guess these Dairy Free Soy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies have no dairy or soy protein! They are compliant with the MSPI Milk Soy Protein Intolerance diet. My family actually preferred these to the traditional butter version!

Here is another recipe from my days of following the MSPI (Milk Soy Protein Intolerance) diet while nursing my second baby. Normally I am not a fan of cooking with Crisco, but when you absolutely cannot have butter, these types of priorities often take a back seat. One nice thing about working with Crisco is that it’s stored at room temperature. You don’t have to wait for it to soften like butter!

My mom and sister really loved these cookies and actually preferred them to the typical all butter chocolate chip cookie.

During my MSPI days, I relied on dairy free / soy free chocolate chips. “Enjoy Life!” Brand is my favorite and thankfully my local grocery store carries them in the health/organic food aisle. These chocolate chips were so good – you would never know they were dairy free!

This recipe is actually adapted from the Nestle Toll House Cookie recipe, so you know it won’t disappoint!

DISCLAIMER: Crisco contains soybean oil. Many people with MSPI can consume soybean oil without problem because it does not contain the soy protein, just the oil (similarly to how I can have very pure peanut oil, but I’m allergic to peanuts). If you have a sensitivity to soybean oil, please substitute the Crisco with a butter flavored coconut oil or a dairy free soy free buttery spread. I have not tried this myself, so the amount may need to be adjusted if using a Crisco alternative.

I also highly recommend the blog MSPI Mama. She has a Quick Start guide with recipes for those moms suddenly finding themselves having to avoid milk and soy and not knowing where to begin! The site has not been updated in a long time, but all of the original recipes are there. It’s a great resource that got me through those stressful first few weeks of having to revamp the way I cooked.

    • Thank you so much for pointing this out! I should have made a note in the recipe and will do that now. For MSPI, many can tolerate soybean oil because it does not contain the soy protein. Some may not, so I should explain that. I have never worked with vegan butter before, but that may work. Or perhaps butter flavored coconut oil? Maybe even a combo would be good. Please let me know if you try it out! Meghan

      • Thank you for replying. My daughter (who is observing a dairy/soy free diet) explained to me about the soy protein. I did use a vegan butter for my cookies, and they were very thin, but she said they were delicious., so I will count it as a win. And her son (my grandson) is thriving! So the dairy/soy free diet she’s observing seems to be agreeing with him!

        I’m not certain why the cookies were so thin, maybe I over chocolate-chipped them, but if she liked them, I’m going to stick with the ingredients I used. Thank you for the recipe and the information!

        • Hi Mary, I’m so glad she liked your cookies! I haven’t worked with vegan butter before, but if the taste was good that’s all that matters! If she likes brownies, check out my MSPI Brownies (linked above). They are made with canola oil, like many boxed brownie mixes, so the taste is spot on!
