This cast iron skillet chocolate chip cookie recipe is a delicious dessert that you can enjoy without the guilt. Healthy ingredients make this a fun family treat.
Chocolate chip cookies are the first dessert I mastered. I owned that recipe on the chocolate chip package. I made them so many times that I memorized the recipe, and I looked for excuses to make them.
I’ve learned to cook many other things over the years, but chocolate chip cookies are still a favorite. This cast iron skillet chocolate chip cookie is a delicious treat that’s healthier than your average cookie.
Skillet Cookie Tips
On Super Bowl Sunday, I made a skillet cookie for dessert from a recipe I found online. It was delicious, but it was so sickeningly sweet that I could barely eat it. (Okay, I could eat it just fine, but I didn’t feel well afterwards.)
This version is much more reasonable. It’s a delicious dessert that you can enjoy without the guilt. If you can save some leftovers, this skillet cookie tastes even better the second day. Substitute white whole wheat flour if you’re not avoiding gluten.
If you want it cooked through, leave it in the oven for 30 minutes. For a more gooey version, check it between 20 and 25 minutes.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra decadent treat.

Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie
Recommended Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup melted coconut oil cooled
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet with coconut oil or butter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl in 2 batches, and mix well after each addition to fully incorporate the flour. You’ll need to scrape down the sides a couple times.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared skillet. Press down with a spatula or your fingers to even out the batter.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how “done” you want it. The top will be set at around 20 minutes, but the inside won’t be cooked through. It will become more cake-like between 25 and 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center, and when it comes out clean, it’s cooked through (but not as ooey-gooey as it was five minutes ago).

Hi! Do I measure coconut oil before or after melting? I’m new to the coconut oil world 🙂 thanks!!
Good question, Krista! Measure after melting.
I just took this out of the oven and it looks AMAZING (and the house smells like one giant chocolate chip cookie!!) This was super simple and I love the simple, real food ingredients. I subbed melted organic butter for the coconut oil (just because of personal taste preference) and used the Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips. Can’t wait to serve this at our dinner party tonight, topped with fresh whipped organic cream!!! Mmmmm…thank you for this wonderful recipe!
Thanks, Cheryl! I hope everyone liked it. 🙂
I made this and it was AMAZING!! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know. I keep making it over and over. 🙂
Mmm, I am picturing this warm from the oven, with some vanilla bean ice cream on top…
Ok, WOW! Making this for sure. Thanks for sharing, you got my day off to a wonderful start!
Enjoy, Danita! We just made it again this weekend – such a delicious treat!
Yum, I made this tonight! My cast iron skillet is 12″ so I used a deep dish pie plate, and it worked out really well!
Fantastic! So glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback.
How can you not drool over a fabulous recipe like this! Awesome, and a great way to use the skillet. Must make soon.
It even has a little iron in it from the skillet, Debi! (As if I need any more excuses to make this.)
YES! on the low amount of sugar.
So much more “eatable” without all the extra sugar!
