NabiscoChips Ahoy! is probably the most famous brand of chocolate chip cookies in America, or perhaps even the entire world, but are they vegan friendly? Considering traditional chocolate chip cookies are made with butter and eggs, it should come as no surprise that Chips Ahoy! cookies are not vegan. However, it’s not the inclusion of butter and eggs that makes Chips Ahoy! non-vegan, it’s the use of whey protein , a dairy byproduct. While Chips Ahoy! cookies come in a wide variety of styles and flavors, rest assured, the further you get from the original kind, the less vegan they get.
