Cookies are hands down my favorite dessert ever and I will do anything for a loaded chocolate chip cookie! A decadent chocolate chip cookie has always been my comfort treat since I was a little girl! After a long day of errand running, I knew my body was in need of some cookies! I came home and decided to take a twist on a classic and experiment this deep dish gluten free chocolate chip skillet cookie! Let’s just say that this experiment’s results were life changing!
Now I know what you’re thinking, how the heck is such a delicious thing like this real?! This skillet cookie is pillowey soft, gooey, chocolatey, and everything that I could ever dream about! Baking this in a cast iron skillet really allows for it to be more dense than a normal chocolate chip cookie. The sides are able to crispy golden brown, while still being soft and gooey in the middle! It satisfies every requirement for a perfect cookie!
The recipe uses almond flour which is gluten free, paleo, and higher in protein than traditional flour. I like to use almond flour in my gluten free recipes because of how nutrient dense it is and the sweet almond flavor that it gives. Personally, the best part about a skillet cookie is that you don’t have to wait for a batch of cookies to be made or the fuss of cookie sheets! Also, it’s a one bowl recipe! Heck yes for no extra dishes!
