Hi Paula, sorry my comment about the dairy was in response to Julie’s comment that these were not dairy free as eggs are dairy I know most who are dairy free honestly can’t tolerate dairy products (my husband is one of them) and these cookies would be perfect for him. An egg is definitely not dairy. If someone wants to avoid eggs… so be it.

The vegan comment was because Elina commented that she was invited to a vegan dinner. I was concerned if it was a “vegan” dinner (as opposed to a vegetarian one) that she would be serving something that might contain a food that vegans do not eat.

I have only just recently realised that there was a difference between vegan and vegetarian as I am neither, love my meat WAY too much.

Mel – ahh… too complicated. Most people that I know that are dairy free honestly can’t tolerate dairy products – milk, butter, etc. This cookie is perfect for them. For those that are choosing to be dairy free for other dietary reasons, they can decide whether or not eggs are going to be called dairy or not.

Sorry, eggs are not dairy they are poultry. Also, I don’t think these are “Vegan” as they contain eggs. I could be wrong, but I think “Vegan” is where someone doesn’t eat any animal products at all, where as “vegetarian” may eat eggs, milk etc, but doesn’t eat flesh meat. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong

Molly – no better way to know than to try! I have another peanut butter cookie recipe that I’ll post here soon that I used natural peanut butter to make and they were still delicious.

Do you think natural peanut butter would work in these? Or would it be too runny? Tell Bari to ask her daughter for those websites because she has a whole blogroll of ‘em since our (I mean ‘her’) home is also dairy-free (and typically with dairy- free websites comes gluten-free)! Tee-hee-hee!

Hi Paula,
It’s Molly’s mom and these look great for her brother – they have a gluten and dairy free house and I wonder if you have any other recipes that are both gluten and dairy free that I could pass along, or do you know of another blogger that does?
These look delicious!
