Grain Free Skillet Cookie

It's been forever since I've posted a new recipe because I've been working a lot and busy planning our trip to Europe that's just ten days away! I'm so ready for 2.5 weeks of exploring with my hubs but I wanted to leave you with this easy, warm and gooey skillet cookie recipe that's perfect for the cozy nights' fall will soon bring us!

I love chocolate chip cookies any time but there's nothing like fresh out of the oven cookies. Sometimes I'll make a big batch of cookie dough, roll it into balls, and freeze them so I can pull out two or three and bake them in the toaster oven. This works great but I've really been loving this skillet cookie lately. It's super easy and fast to whip together and is perfect for a sweet tooth sneak attack!

I use mini cast iron skillets I found at a random overstock store. The recipe I'm posting makes one skillet cookie in my 6 inch pan. Double, triple, quadruple the recipe as needed for your size pan or for multiple pans. Also, I bake mine for 15 mins which leaves a pretty soft and gooey texture but you can bake it a little longer for a more done cookie.

Let't talk mollasses! You might think it's a little weird to put blackstrap molasses into a chocolate chip cookie. Just trust me. It adds a little extra sweetness and a wonderful depth to the flavor. Plus, it's full of vitamin K and iron which adds some benefits to this cookie. Anytime I can get away with sneaking in something good into a sweet treat I'm going to do it!

Ingredients

Makes one skillet cookie

1/4 cup coconut sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Pinch of sea salt
