I love making it for my family. We love to top it with some “nice cream” and enjoy it together while watching a movie.

Ingredients needed to make a Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie:

Equipment needed to make a Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie:

• Cast Iron Skillet– Use a 6.5 inch sized skillet.
• Large Mixing Bowl– For mixing all of the ingredients.
• Whisk– For whisking the dough.
• Saran Wrap– To wrap the dough as it chills.

How to make a Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie:

• Step 1– Start by melting 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter by microwaving it in increments of 30 seconds until completely melted. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg, melted butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.

Tips and Substitutions:

1. Don’t skip on chilling the dough- This will solidify the fat in the cookie skillet which then slowly spreads as the cookie bakes in the oven.
2. Be sure to grease the skillet- This will prevent the cookie from sticking to the skillet.
3. Substitute for butter- Use refined coconut oil or avocado oil.
4. Substitute for almond flour- Use gluten-free oat flour.
5. No coconut sugar?- Substitute for maple sugar.

How to serve Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie:

My favorite part about this chocolate chip skillet cookie is serving it. It’s so fun to serve right in the skillet with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream. We love sharing it as a family and it always makes for a fun experience. You can also cut pieces out and serve for each individual person.

Top with your favorite “nice cream” or Ice Cream.

Use your favorite nice cream or regular ice cream and place a scoop or two on top of the cookie when it’s right out of the oven. It will start to melt right onto the warm chocolaty gooey cookie and omg is that good!

Variations:

• Nut Butter– Add about 1/4-1/3 cup of peanut butter or almond butter to your dough for a nut butter chocolate chip skillet cookie.
• Nuts– Add-in some crushed almonds, walnuts or pecans.
