This Paleo Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is the ultimate gooey dessert! This gluten free and refined sugar free skillet cookie is a healthier alternative to the classic Pizookie. Use big chocolate chunks to make it extra chocolatey!
The biggest perk of a skillet cookie is the increased ratio of gooey insides to the crispy, golden outside. When you dig into the center of a skillet cookie with your spoon and get a perfect mix of melted chocolate, barely cooked doughy center, and crispy edges, there isn’t really anything better.
But, uh, Pizookie’s (and most of it’s skillet cookie sisters) aren’t exactly diet-friendly. So, in the name of Paleo sweets, I took matters into my own hands and converted my Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe into a skillet cookie worthy of your strongest chocolate cookie craving. And it totally worked, because this Paleo-friendly skillet cookie rocks.
I just couldn’t help myself! It’s rich and crispy thanks to the coconut oil and egg yolk. It’s lightly sweetened with coconut sugar and of course, the big dark chocolate chunks. Those chocolate chunks are key for the ultimate treat! If you want to make sure you keep this skillet cookie 100% refined sugar free, make your own Paleo-friendly chocolate chunks.
This recipe makes a modestly sized 5-inch skillet cookie – it’s enough to feed 2-4 people for dessert I’d say, depending on how hungry you are! Of course, you could also double the recipe and bake it in a larger skillet for a group of people, but be sure to adjust up the baking time if you do that.
