Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

You guys have no idea just how exciting it is to bring this new recipe to you. It’s been a tough one to develop but we are happy to finally have a version of this mouth watering Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie. Guys there’s no better way to describe this than OMG!!! It is just so amazingly good!

This Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is gluten-free, dairy-free options and refined sugar-free. It has that perfect crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside texture. The chocolate melts just enough to form that soft, mushiness you want from a cookie. Especially a skillet cookie.

This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make from start to finish (not counting the hour needed to chill the dough). It’s the perfect dessert to indulge in when you’re craving something sweet. I love making it for my family. We love to top it with some “nice cream” and enjoy it together while watching a movie.

What is a skillet cookie?

A skillet cookie is simply a giant cookie that is baked in a small cast iron skillet. You may have heard of these or seeing them at certain chain restaurants. These cookies are fun to make, delcious to eat, and such a cute and fun way to serve them!

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 cookie and omg is that good!

What you need to make this Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie:

Ingredients:

Equipment:

  • 6.5 inch Cast Iron Skillet
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Saran Wrap

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. 
  • Step 2– Toss in almond flour, baking powder, pink sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until dough is formed and all ingredients are combined well. Fold in chocolate morsels. Cover bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to chill dough.
  • Step 3– Right before the hour is up and you’re ready to bake your skillet cookie, preheat oven at 350 degrees F. 
  • Step 4– Grease a 6.5 inch cast iron skillet with a bit of butter or coconut oil. Add chilled dough to greased skillet. Using your hands, spread dough evenly pressing down throughout the skillet.
  • Step 5– Place cookie in oven and bake for 22 minutes. 
  • Step 6– Remove skillet cookie from oven and serve immediately right in the skillet (be carfeful not to touch the skillet right out the oven). You can serve with a scoop of your preferred “nice cream” or ice cream if desired. Enjoy!

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.
