Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie

Umm — hello heaven.

To say this cookie was a success would be an understatement :).  I found myself continuing to return for “just one more sliver” and couldn’t stop.  Dangerous, let’s just put it that way!  At least I healthified it a bit!

My original inspiration for this cookie was from a fellow AWESOME healthy living blogger,  Sarah @ SweetMiles.  She posted this late in January and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.  The ingredients are simple, and I had basically all of them on hand.   This cookie was the PERFECT way to treat myself during a crazy week!

Cast Iron Skillet Cookie

Ingredients:

• 1 stick of softened butter
• 1 whole egg
• 1 tsp of vanilla
• pinch of baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of natural applesauce
• 1 1/4 cup of Whole Wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
• 5 caramel pieces cut into quarters

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Butter your pan with the wrapper from your stick of butter OR with butter itself
• Combine softened butter and sugar and applesauce until well incorporated

• Add egg, vanilla and salt to the mxture
• Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl
• Incorporate the dry into the wet ingredients
• Add the chocolate and caramel

 

• Bake for 25-27 minutes at 350
• Enjoy!

 

Yes, this is a healthified cookie — but it’s a darn good one.   Zach and I were discussing it and using the Whole Wheat PASTRY flour still gave it the a bit of the whole wheat flavor, but the “pastry” density.  I loved it!
