How to Make Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Ingredients You’ll Need

2 cups almond flour (192 g)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda (1 g)
1/2 teaspoon salt (3 g)
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon maple syrup (90 g)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (60 g)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5 g)
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (85 g)
Pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Directions

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a skillet with a bit of coconut oil.
In a big bowl, mix together almond flour, baking soda, salt, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and let the dough sit for 5 minutes.
Spoon the dough into the prepared skillet and spread it out evenly. Press down gently.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center should be set and firm.
Let the skillet cookie cool in the pan for a few minutes. It will firm up as it cools. Add a scoop of ice cream, slice, and serve warm. Enjoy!

How to Serve Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Serve the Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie warm from the skillet. Top it with a scoop of vanilla or your favorite ice cream. You can also drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over it for an extra treat. This dessert is great for family gatherings or a cozy night in.

How to Store Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Store any leftover cookie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can also refrigerate it for up to a week. To warm it up, simply pop it in the microwave for a few seconds before serving again.

Tips for the Best Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

To get the best results, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature. Use a good quality dark chocolate for richer flavor. Don’t overmix the dough, as this can make the cookie tough. It’s okay if the center looks a little underbaked; it will set as it cools.

Recipe Variations

You can add nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for added crunch. For a different flavor, try using peanut butter instead of olive oil. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but the texture and flavor will be different, and it won’t be gluten-free.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and chill it in the fridge. Bake it when you are ready to enjoy.

How do I know when the skillet cookie is done?
The edges should be golden brown, and the center should be set and firm to the touch. If it looks too soft, bake it a few more minutes.
