No Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies to the rescue! This recipe is originally from a previous contributor and is based on her experience. I gave her recipe a try and updated this post with new pictures in February 2019.
Out of desperation when this situation occurred I quickly hopped on my computer. I began searching for a recipe for chocolate chip cookies without butter and I luckily one was found.
This recipe, in particular, uses vegetable oil instead of butter. I will wholeheartedly admit, I was skeptical at first.

The cookies turned out great, they were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I did definitely miss the butter flavor but they totally satisfied my craving in a pinch!
If you have anyone that's dairy free this is an awesome recipe to make for them! I love having a set of recipes that I can make for anyone no matter what their allergy!

Some tips for making No Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- Use a cookie scoop. My scoop of choice is a 2 teaspoon scoop which yields cookies which are approximately 2″ in diameter.
- Bake on parchment paper or silicone baking sheets, makes cleanup a snap.
- I used mini chocolate chips.
- The texture of the dough is slightly different than traditional chocolate chip cookie dough. Add a tad more oil if the mixture isn't coming together.
- Do not overbake. Mine were done in 8 minutes.
- Read the reviews below. These cookies aren't for everyone, but if you love them you REALLY love them!
