Dairy-free butter is made with oil, which melts faster than regular butter. The temperature of dairy-free butter is important during the baking process. The cold butter will hold the cookie structure while the heat slowly melts the dairy-free oils. Be sure to to refrigerate dairy-free cookie dough 30 minutes before baking for perfect dairy-free cookies every time.
Baking dairy-free has become very easy thanks to the various butter substitutes in the market. Both Country Crock or Earth Balance buttery sticks are the easiest replacement in our cookie recipes.
