What’s not to love about a recipe that’s made using easy-to-find ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, and it’s also extremely delicious and easy to make? Here are the ingredients that you will need:
- Eggs – use room-temperature eggs to avoid any eggy flavor. They act like a binder and add moisture to the cookie dough.
- Butter – gives a rich buttery flavor to the chocolate chip skillet cookie.
- Vanilla Extract – use the best quality vanilla extract for an intense flavor.
- Sweetener – use your favorite powdered sweetener to mix well into the batter. Replace with Swerve brown for a rich flavor.
- Almond Flour – is one of the best low-carb flour substitutes to create sweet treats. I prefer a superfine, blanched almond flour for the best texture.
- Baking Powder – acts like a leavening agent to help the cookie rise and provide a tender texture.
- Salt – used to enhance all the flavors.
- Chocolate Chips – you will need unsweetened dark chocolate chips or use dark chocolate chips instead. Choose a chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content to keep the sugar content low.
These variations make a Keto Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie even more nutritious and flavorful.
