Depending on the recipe and the specific dairy allergy (can the child eat soya for example), you should still be able to do cookie mix in a jar.

If you're planning on putting in chocolate chips, you can get soya/dairy free chocolate buttons from most of the main supermarkets - look in their free-from sections and you should get a good choice.

Personally I would recommend S*insburys as being the best as their free from range is phenomenal. My children both suffer from food allergies (1 = wheat, gluten and dairy free, 2 = egg, wheat, soya and dairy free!) and it is do-able to bake even with these.

Good luck!

Thanks ever so much - I hadn't thought of using chocolate for that reason, didn't occur to me to try free from!! In which case I guess it should be fairly easy to adapt most recipes as they'll be adding their own butter substitute to cook with any way

thanks again

I'm lactose intollrant too. Kinnerton chocolate (all i've come across but check) is dairy free. If you need milk for it go for lactofree (normal milk section green and white carton white half a cows face on) and butter you're best with vitalite (dairy free) not the soya crap!

I use Vitalite too! I find soya spreads disgusting.
*fellow lactose intolerant high-five*

I also take Prolactazyme Forte pills so that I can eat dairy if I want it. But you can't always take a pill before you eat everything. They are kind of like magic though.

High 5 Lala! I've never heard of those, where do you get them from?

I get them here http://www.foodreactions.org/products/li.html

They're flipping amazing. It's really sad that more lactose intolerants don't know about them. You just take one and 10 minutes later you can eat as much cheese/chocolate/cream as you want!
