A Paleo-friendly chocolate chip cookie, baked in a skillet, for family-sized yumminess
I recently purchased a cast iron skillet from Lodge Cast Iron for the first time. And I love it. I use it to saute veggies, to make hashes, to fry eggs, for everything. But when a recipe for a cookie baked in a skillet came into my inbox from Rachaels Good Eats (original recipe here) I knew I had to try it. Now, the original recipe called for an 8″ cast iron skillet and I have a 12″ one. So, what do I do, but I make it family-sized. Mind you, I didn’t hear any complaints from my family when I served it to them, with my dairy-free almond butter ice cream on top! Using Enjoy Life chocolate chunks was awesome as they held their shape and texture, rather than just melting at random (note, this is not a sponsored post, I just love Enjoy Life products!).
Now, be warned, this is a little bit crumbly after it’s baked. Which is why we had it heated up with the ice cream oozing down through it all. But I also had a few mouthfuls of it just at room temperature. I definitely think this is a winner recipe, whatever way you look at it, or eat it.
So try it, and let me know what you think!
