Published 5/24/2020 I’ve always been a huge fan of cookie cakes…like, for every birthday! So excited for you to try our healthier cookie cake recipe for every holiday and event you celebrate.
Why make this skillet cookie?
Beyond the fact that this peanut butter cookie cake is delicious, it’s actually better-for-you made without white sugar, butter, and flour! Here are all the reasons why you should whip this up!
Birthdays Holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Easter, etc.) Kid-friendly! Refind-Sugar Free Flourless Gluten-Free
Simple Ingredients – No Flour!
One of the main reasons why I love this healthier skillet cookie is because it’s flourless! Dats, right no flour! The foundation of this recipe is:
all-natural peanut butter – make sure you use “drippy” peanut butter with no added sugar. Other nut butter such as cashew and almond would work as well. eggs – eggs help this recipe bind and we do not suggest omitting them or replacing them with a plant-based egg like flax eggs. coconut sugar – coconut sugar is sweet, but not too sweet. You can sub the coconut sugar for brown sugar! coconut flour – coconut flour is grain-free and we do not suggest swapping this flour for anything else as it is an extremely dense flour and the ratio to any other flour is not 1:1.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
We have NOT tested this recipe without eggs, but wouldn’t suggest omitting them. SORRY!
Can I use a different sugar?
Yes! If you are going to swap the coconut sugar for something else, we suggest brown sugar or another granulated sugar. Swapping the coconut sugar for a liquid sweetener is NOT recommended.
How to Make a Skillet Cookie
Mix
This recipe is so easy to put together. All you have to do is mix all of your ingredients together in order to form your dough. It should feel very similar to classic cookie dough.
Spread
Then, grease your cast iron skillet with cooking spray or coconut oil and spread out the dough. You can use a spatula or your hands. The goal here is to get the entire skillet cookie the same thickness so that it bakes evenly.
Bake
Bake cookie at 350ºF for about 18 minutes or until fully cooked in the middle.
Eat
Let peanut butter cookie cake cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and topping with whipped cream and sprinkles!
