Both cream cheese and powdered sugar make up the cheesecake filling. I have not tried this recipe using dairy free or Vegan cream cheese, but I guess it would work. Use softened cream cheese. It is much easier to cream softened cream cheese than cold cream cheese.
Use cold butter straight from the fridge for the cookie dough. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much. I have not tried using dairy free butter in this recipe, but the cookies may spread even less.
Both granulated sugar and light brown sugar sweeten these cookies. If using coconut sugar, the cookies will be darker in color.
Eggs help bind the cookies together. I have not tried using an egg substitute in this specific recipe, but I have had success substituting ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce for 1 egg. So, this recipe would need ½ cup applesauce in place of the 2 eggs. See these Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies for more tips and tricks.
Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour work well. Almond flour, coconut flour, cassava flour, and oat flour are all different so they are not recommended.
Baking soda helps these cookies rise while baking.
A little vanilla extract adds a delicious classic cookie flavor.
Any type of chocolate chips work! Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate and mini chocolate chips work well. In addition, white chocolate chips or chocolate chunks are great options.
