Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- 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.
- Be sure to grease the skillet- This will prevent the cookie from sticking to the skillet.
- Substitute for butter- Use refined coconut oil or avocado oil.
- Substitute for almond flour- Use gluten-free oat flour.
- No coconut sugar?- Substitute for maple sugar.
