Are you a big cookie fan? Me too. In my house, we try to make a batch of cookies every Friday to ring in the weekend. We watch movies, eat cookies, and put on sweatpants or pajamas far too early.

Some Fridays, I’m not up for baking, so I rely on store-bought options that I can find locally. Other times, I’ll plan ahead knowing that sometimes the best cookies are the ones that I don’t have to spend time making myself.

If you’re following a gluten and dairy-free diet, you may have found a number of great gluten and dairy-free cookie recipes online – and maybe even have a few favorites.

If you also like to know where you can take shortcuts when you need to (like I do), then you are probably looking for some safe brands you can pick up from the store.

I’ve rounded up all the brands that I could find that offer gluten and dairy free cookie options. Many of these I’ve seen at my local Kroger and Safeway stores, others I’ve only ever seen online through Thrive Market or Amazon (but Amazon cookies are almost always drastically overpriced so I don’t often buy cookies from there).

Find out how to know if cookies you’re looking at on the grocery store shelves are gluten-free and dairy-free, plus check out my list of cookie options I was able to round up while researching brands of gluten and dairy-free cookies.

How do I know if there’s gluten in cookies?

The easiest way to find out if there is gluten in the cookies you’re looking at while perusing the snack aisle at the store is to flip the package over and look at the ingredients list. Look for the terms “flour,” “enriched flour,” or “wheat flour.”

Just about any cookie that has the term “flour” without any more descriptors in front of it will contain gluten. Enriched flour is made from wheat and therefore contains gluten. Wheat flour comes from wheat and therefore contains gluten.

The only times you’ll see the term “flour” on an ingredient list and it’s safe for a gluten-free diet is when the type of flour comes from a gluten-free grain. For example, rice flour is made from rice, so it is gluten-free.

Other examples are corn flour, sorghum flour, millet flour, potato flour, cassava flour, or chickpea flour. If you know a grain is gluten-free, then the flour that comes from that grain is probably also gluten-free (not always, but probably).

Other starches may also be used, like tapioca or potato starch. These are similar to flours, but are also used in gluten-free snack foods like cookies, because they have a light texture and hold up well in gluten-free baking.

The second easiest way to know if the cookies you’re looking at in the store are gluten-free is to look for a gluten-free label on the package.

You might think this is easier than reviewing ingredients lists, but regardless of a label, it’s always a good practice to review ingredients when you’re avoiding gluten. It’s a good first step when you have food intolerances or food allergies always.

A gluten-free label will tell you that the product contains less than 20ppm of gluten and that the manufacturer has tested this product to confirm this to be true.

Gluten-free labels are regulated by the FDA, so any brand showing a gluten-free label when there is in fact more than 20ppm of gluten could be in big trouble with the law.

Certified gluten-free labels simply mean that the manufacturer has had a third party testing company come in to test and confirm that there is less than 20ppm of gluten in that product. It’s just one more helpful resource to get folks to trust brands and their claims of being gluten-free.

To sum up, you’ll know a cookie is gluten-free if:

The ingredients list has no names of gluten
There is a gluten-free label

Which leads me to say that if a product has no gluten ingredients, that package of cookies could STILL contain gluten. In this case, the manufacturer may not use gluten-containing ingredients, but there may be trace amounts of gluten from the manufacturing process.

A gluten-free label plus no names of gluten in the ingredients list is your best way to know for sure your cookies are gluten-free.

How do I know if there’s dairy in cookies?

Similar to gluten, you’ll know if the package of cookies you’re looking at at the grocery store contains dairy is to review ingredients lists. Look for obvious and less obvious names of dairy, like:

Milk
Whey
Milk protein
Milk powder
Milk fat
Milk chocolate

Another way to know if the product contains dairy is to look for a note under the ingredients list that says “Contains Milk” or “Contains Milk Products.” This will help you determine if you should avoid this product on your dairy-free diet.

Finally, some cookie packages have the terms “dairy-free” or “non-dairy” or “free from dairy” on the front. Though these terms are not regulated by the FDA, those that do include them are trying to be helpful to consumers.

But don’t take them at face value, review ingredients lists in addition to seeing this label to double check before buying.

Gluten and Dairy-free Cookie Brands

Here is a list of brands that I was able to find that are gluten and dairy-free. A few notes on this list:

This list is not exhaustive. I’m sure there are dozens of other brands out there that offer gluten and dairy-free cookies. These are the ones I was able to find while researching this topic on this specific day.
Many of the brands listed here offer SOME options of gluten and dairy-free cookies, but it doesn’t mean the entire brand is gluten and dairy-free. It’s a good idea to look for only the options listed here and/or review ingredients lists before buying any flavor and variety of these cookies to confirm it’s safe for your diet.
Eggs are not considered a dairy food, however I also avoid eggs in my diet and I know many of my readers do too. I’ve marked those without eggs in this list with an asterisk (*) for easy reference.
