    A fun mini size skillet cookie made with coconut oil instead of butter and loaded with chocolate chips and shredded coconut. 

    Recently, I had the opportunity to attend BlogHer Food in Miami. It was a chance to learn ways to improve my site and network, learn and have fun with other food bloggers. We were also able to meet with representatives from lots of great brands across the country, who introduced us to new foods and products. They sent us home with lots of fun new products to try and conference “swag”.  

    One of my favorite things I brought home from BlogHer Food, was a mini cast-iron skillet from Jones Dairy Farm. I’ve seen the adorable little 5-inch cast iron skilletsimage in stores a lot lately and have been tempted many times to buy one. They’re just such a fun size. 

    Mini Coconut Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie from Barbara Bakes

    Skillet cookies are always a hit at my house, so a mini “skookie” seemed the obvious first choice to bake in my cute new pan. The recipe makes two mini skillet cookies, so if you have two pans, you can make two at a time, or freeze half the dough and make one now and one later.

    I topped our skillet cookie with vanilla ice cream and the new Smucker’s Simple Delight Hot Fudge Topping. It was my first time trying the topping and I’d definitely buy it again. It had a great fudgy flavor, was smooth and creamy and easy to scoop out of the jar to heat up only a portion.

    Ingredients

    • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 8 tablespoons coconut oil
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ cup shredded coconut
    • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • Vanilla ice cream optional
    • Hot Fudge optional

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350° and generously grease the bottom and sides of a 5-inch cast-iron skillet with coconut oil.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat coconut oil, sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, beating until well combined.
    • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix on low speed just until combine. Mix in the coconut and chocolate chips on low speed.
    • Divide the dough in half. (Freeze half the dough for another day or use two mini skillets.) Press half the cookie dough into the prepared skillet and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the cookie is golden and cooked through. Remove from oven. If desired, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge.

    This mini cookie skillet cookie is perfect for two extravagant desserts, or four little snacks.

      What a sweet—literally and figuratively—-recipe. I really like the idea. It would be something novel to
      serve, which makes it even more fun. Of course ice cream with chocolate sauce would liven up and anything even day old bread. I have good luck with Smuckers sauces also, by the way.

      Barbara, I love the pan. I use Loge cast iron because the price is right and it wears well. I love the cookie more. This is my dream cookie, chewy and filled with deliciousness. Just printed it and hope to make tonight.

      This looks amazing !
      Can I make this with gluten free flour? What else would it need ? Thanks!

        Thanks Marla! Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience making cookies with gluten free flour. I’d recommend finding a good chewy gluten free cookie recipe and then adapting the directions to cook it in the skillet.

      The mini skillet looks so adorable…but the cookie with ice cream is even cuter and better.

      Wow! That cookie looks so beautiful! I have never eaten or made a skillet cookie before but I think I might have to put a skillet pan down on my birthday list. Just gorgeous!

      What a fun conference for you to go to. I miss the Foodbuzz conferences that used to be held in San Francisco. I learned a lot, but also found myself going home thinking “wow, I am such an amateur”! You do a great job on your blog, and it’s already very professional, so please know that. I’ve been eying those mini skillets for a long time and have them on my Amazon wish list. I just need to justify $10.00 each! They’d be fun for this skookie, and even for making a melted cheese dip.

        Thanks Debby! That’s such a sweet comment. I think we all sometimes feel a bit intimidated after a conference. There’s always just so much more we could do if we only had the time. Your blog is terrific. You’re doing a great job as well.
