Enjoy a delicious low-carb treat with this skillet chocolate chip cookie recipe. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying within your dietary goals, this recipe combines simple ingredients to create a rich, gooey cookie right in your skillet.
Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your oven is at the perfect temperature for baking the cookie, allowing it to cook evenly and develop a golden-brown crust.
Prepare the Skillet
Lightly grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray. This step prevents the cookie from sticking to the skillet and makes for easy removal once it’s baked.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1/2 cup erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener), 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mixing these dry ingredients together ensures that the baking soda is evenly distributed and helps the cookie rise properly.
Add Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined. The melted butter adds richness, while the egg and vanilla contribute to the cookie’s flavor and texture.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. The dough will be thick, which is normal. Ensure that all the dry ingredients are mixed in thoroughly to achieve a consistent texture.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips into the dough. This step ensures that the chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough, giving every bite a sweet chocolatey flavor.
Transfer to Skillet
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared skillet, pressing it down to form an even layer. This helps the cookie bake uniformly and gives it a nice, flat surface.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft. The cookie will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven, so aim for a soft center for a gooey texture. Enjoy your delicious low-carb skillet cookie!
