Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chocolate chip cookie mix (80g) I used Betty Crocker
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (30g)
- pinch of salt
- 3 Tbsp milk (45g)
- 2 Tbsp light butter (28g)
- 1-2 Tbsp chocolate chips plus more for topping
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Grease a 6-inch cast iron skillet.
- Mix together the cookie mix, protein powder and salt in a bowl.
- Then add the milk and butter and stir with a rubber spatula to combine.
- Transfer to the greased skillet and cover with saran wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Once preheated, bake the skillet cookie for 10 minutes. It should still look a little gooey and unset when you remove it! It will continue to cook in the hot skillet after you take it out (this is what helps keep it gooey). Sprinkle chocolate chips on in the last few minutes of baking.
- Serve warm or chilled. Top with a scoop of ice cream and enjoy!
Notes
To make gluten-free: use a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie mix.
To make dairy-free: use a dairy-free protein powder, plant-based butter, dairy-free milk, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
Helpful Tips
Use a toothpick inserted in the center of the cookie to see if it is done. If it comes out mostly clean, your Chocolate Chip Protein Skillet Cookie is done! It will still cook some in the dish so I would recommend taking it out when it’s almost done. The longer you bake it, the more cake-like it will be.
