🔥 How to Make a Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
- Prep the Skillet
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8–10 inch skillet with a bit of coconut oil. - Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Add maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft dough forms. - Add Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed. Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes. - Press and Bake
Scoop the dough into your prepared skillet and press it evenly into the pan. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. - Cool and Serve
Let the cookie cool for a few minutes before slicing. It will continue to firm up as it cools. Top with a scoop of ice cream and enjoy warm!
