Ingredients

Here is a list of healthy ingredients needed to make a Homemade Low-carb Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie, along with their recommended portions for a scrumptious result:

- Almond flour: 1 cup – a great gluten-free flour alternative that's low in carbs and high in healthy fats.

- Sweetener (granulated stevia/erythritol blend): 1/3 cup – a low-calorie sweetening option that keeps the cookie sweet without the added carbs.

- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon – helps the cookie rise and gives it a nice texture.

- Sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon – enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.

- Eggs: 2 large – bind the ingredients together and add moisture.

- Coconut sugar: 2 tablespoons – provides a subtle sweetness while being lower on the glycemic index compared to regular sugar.

- Almond butter: 1/2 cup – adds richness and healthy fats to the cookie and gives it a delightful nuttiness.

- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon – imparts a warm, inviting flavor to the cookies.

- Unsweetened dark chocolate chips: 1/2 cup – offers a rich chocolatey flavor without the sugar overload.

- Pecans: 1/4 cup, chopped – these not only add crunch and texture but also increase the heart-healthy fats in your cookie.

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it's at the proper temperature when you’re ready to bake your cookie.

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, brown sugar replacement, collagen protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together well, ensuring there are no lumps and that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar-free granulated sweetener, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk this mixture vigorously until it's smooth and fully combined, ensuring the sweetener is well integrated.

1. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly until everything is well mixed and a dough forms. The texture should be slightly sticky but manageable.

1. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the low-carb chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough to guarantee a chocolatey bite in every slice.

1. Prepare the Skillet: Lightly grease a cast iron skillet with cooking spray or a bit of butter. This step is important to prevent the cookie from sticking to the skillet.

1. Transfer the Dough: Press the cookie dough into the prepared skillet evenly, making sure to spread it out to the edges. It’s okay if it’s not perfect; it will spread slightly while baking.

1. Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you’re looking for the cookie to turn golden brown around the edges and be set in the center — a toothpick inserted should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

1. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the cookie cool for about 10 minutes. This cooling time will help it set, making it easier to slice and serve.

1. Serve and Enjoy: Cut into wedges or squares and serve warm. This cookie pairs beautifully with a scoop of low-carb ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if you like. Relish your indulgent yet healthy Homemade Low-carb Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie!
