Healthy Skillet Cookie

This Healthy Skillet Cookie is your classic ‘Pizzacookie’ made with real food ingredients and no refined sugar! Crispy edges with a soft and gooey center chock full of chocolate chips, this healthy skillet cookie is sure to become a family favorite. It’s especially good topped with ice cream.

Baking your favorite cookie dough in a cast iron skillet is everything you could hope for in a cookie. It turns into a ‘crispy on the edge’ and ‘gooey in the center’ absolute delight. Of course, it’s pretty much a ‘must’ to eat it hot out of the oven with ice cream melting on top!

This method works really well with pretty much any cookie dough you love. But for today, let’s talk about the classic that simply never gets old – chocolate chip! Chocolate chip cookies are their own kind of comfort food. And I think for a lot of us, they conjure memories from childhood.

What I remember the most, was begging for ‘just one more nibble’ of cookie dough. But while I loved cookie dough, my mom knew I’d be wanting baked cookies too. So she’d always tell me to wait a bit more.

Of course, she was right, cookie dough is great. But do you know what’s even better? Warm cookies straight out of the oven, and dipped into a cold glass of milk!

And I have to say, with skillet cookies, I think the same principle is true. This is why you really do need the ice cream with it. It’s that combination of hot and cold, along with the creaminess factor that really just puts the cherry on top so to speak.

Make this recipe step by step

Step 1: First up you stir together the dry ingredients, along with the chocolate chips.

Step 2: Then melt the butter in your cast iron skillet over low heat.

It’s important not to get the pan and butter hot because it will scramble the egg when you mix it in.

Step 3: Next, you mix the dry ingredients into the butter-egg mixture and pat it out evenly.

Step 4: Finally, bake the skillet cookie until it begins to puff in the center but is still gooey.

The cookie will continue to cook a bit after you remove it from the oven because it’s in a cast iron skillet.

Step 5: And now for the final touch – ice cream!
