Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour (192 g)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (1 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (3 g)
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon maple syrup (90 g)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (60 g)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5 g)
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (85 g)
- Preheat and Prepare Skillet: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a skillet with a bit of coconut oil to prevent sticking and to enhance browning on the edges.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the maple syrup, extra virgin olive oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until you form a consistent dough.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing. Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes to hydrate and meld flavors.
- Shape Dough in Skillet: Spoon the dough into your greased skillet, spreading it evenly. Press down lightly to flatten and create an even surface for baking.
- Bake the Cookie: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the center appears set and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the skillet cookie from the oven and let it cool in the pan for several minutes. This will allow it to firm up properly. Serve warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, slicing directly from the skillet. Enjoy the gooey and crispy texture!
Notes
- The almond flour gives the cookie a moist and tender texture while keeping it gluten-free.
- Letting the dough rest before baking helps improve texture and flavor development.
- You can substitute coconut oil for the olive oil for a slightly different flavor and additional moisture.
- Baking times may vary depending on your oven and skillet size; watch for golden edges and a firm center.
- Serve warm for the best gooey chocolate chip experience, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
