A giant chocolate chip cookie, baked to perfection on a cast iron skillet…does it get any better than that? This Giant Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake is vegan and can easily be made gluten-free.
The Giant Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake is inspired by the cookie cakes you can buy at Giant Eagle, a major grocery chain in my area. They’re a staple at birthday parties, barbecues and now that we’re all spending more time at home, afternoon snacks.
How can I make chocolate chip recipes like this vegan?
No animal products are needed for this recipe– including eggs. Flaxseed and water act as a binder like an egg would. You can learn about other egg alternatives in baking in this blog post.
Is it gluten-free?
I used regular flour in this recipe, but you can easily substitute that with rice flour, almond flour, oat flour, or Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking flour.
Baking a giant chocolate chip cookie in a cast iron skillet results in a yummy, huge dessert. It’s soft, chewy and perfectly crispy around the edges.
