Everyone loves my keto chocolate chip cookies recipe, so I wanted to do an experiment. Would these cookies make a great giant keto skillet chocolate chip cookie? Turns out they might be even better ??
Keto Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie Baking Tips
First, start off by mixing all of the dry ingredients together. I actually use Almond Meal (which you can buy from Coles and Woolworths), so it’s technically not called almond flour, but they must be very similar as this certainly doesn’t look like its got any husk left over from the almonds.
Next, you add in the chocolate chips once you’ve added in the butter, eggs and erythritol. It should be a slightly wet mixture. If the mixture is too hard at this stage, you can always experiment by adding a Tbsp of water at a time to loosen things up. You shouldn’t need to, but depending on the fat content in the almond flour you use, it might be a good alteration.
I love using my cast iron skillet. This is a 20cm version and its perfect for frying steaks, or anything that requires even constant heat. In this case, the cast iron acts as a great oven type material and cooks the cookie so evenly, it will make you want to cook everything in it!
Spreading out the cookie dough in the skillet requires a little patience, but I used a rubber spatula for this one, and it turned out great.
I mostly use Lilly’s Chocolate Chips when I can get them, however, if you live in Australia, simply cutting up Lindt 90% dark chocolate will work the trick, and its almost just as low carb as any unsweetened bakers chocolate out there.
This is what your keto skillet chocolate chip cookie should look like. I used some Keto Ice Cream to serve this cookie, and a drizzle of dark chocolate ganache (which is equal parts 90% Lindt dark chocolate and heavy whipping cream tempered to create a thick sauce).
Baking Tip!
I have used a 20cm (8 inch) well-seasoned skillet for this recipe. You can also line the skillet with strips of parchment paper if you are unsure about the seasoning of your skillet.

Lindt now do a 99% dark chocolate. And if you live in Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast, the Noose Chocolate Factory does a 100% dark chocolate. Still has 15g/100g carbs from the cocoa bean , but 0g sugar.

Great tips! Nativa now also does a 100% chocolate in the baking section of coles and woolworths.

Thule I enjoyed this I found it cloyingly sweet. I made it again with only 1/4 c of the sweetener. . Much better in my book but excellent recipe to begin with. I even added chopped walnuts.

Made this last night and it was fantastic! The only mod I made was to add an additional small handful of Lily’s Salted Caramel Chips to the mix and it added a deeper flavor. Served warm with some whipped cream – heavenly!!

Made this last night. Since I’ve been eating keto my taste for sweets isn’t what it used to be. I used about half the sweetener the recipe called for and let the Lilly’s chocolate chips I used be the sweet highlight. Anyone else that may have become more sensitive too ssweet taste may want to do the same and sample the dough before adding egg. Shared with my husband after dinner treat. Thanks!

I have the mini cast iron pans (4-5 inches). How long do you recommend cooking them for?
FatForWeightLoss says
I’d split it up into 2 big cookies, and cook for 1/2 the time and check.
