Vegan Skillet Cookie
This vegan skillet cookie is super simple to make and SUCH a delicious comfort food! Best enjoyed with a big scoop of ice cream :D
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter 8 tablespoons, softened* (1/2 cup of coconut oil will also work well here!)
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup plant based milk at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour*
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips additional for topping (For this skillet, I like to use a combo of chips and chunks of chocolate!)
- for serving: ice cream not necessary but HIGHLY recommended
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 10-12 inch oven safe skillet with butter or cooking spray.
- In a stand mixer using the paddle attachment (you can also do this in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Once fully combined, add in the milk and vanilla and mix until just combined. The mixture will look a little curdled but it’s okay!
- Add in the four, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate until mixed in. The dough will be a little sticky but should not stick to your hands excessively. If it’s too sticky, mix in a little extra flour.
- Pour the dough into your prepared skillet and spread it out so that it's evenly in the skillet. Pat the edges down a little so everything is as even as possible. Optional to top with additional chocolate (do it!).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cookie set, puffed up around the edges, and just starting to get a golden brown color. Top with ice cream and ENJOY!
Notes
*the butter does not need to be at room temperature but soft enough that it will easily cream together with the sugars. I've found this to be perfect at a little cooler, but close to, room temperature
*the only gluten free flour that I've ever tried with this recipe is a gluten free 1-1 flour (bob's red mill and cup4cup are my favorite brands!)
