Prep Time 12 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Serving Size 3 skillet cookies

Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup quinoa flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • cup granulated sugar
  • cup brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chunks
  • ¼ cup pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 3 small (about 6-inch) cast iron skillets and arrange on a baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Mix in egg and vanilla, scraping down the side of the bowl as necessary. Gradually add dry ingredients, followed by the rolled oats, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in chocolate chunks and nuts.
  • Divide dough into 3 equal parts and scoop into prepared 6" mini skillets, pressing down with your fingers slightly. Leave some space around the edges.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are golden and centre is just set. Less time will result in an ooey-gooey cookie and more will be chewy and crispy. We like ours somewhere in the middle.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Ice cream is optional, but highly recommended!

Notes

  • The quinoa flour adds a bit of a nutty flavour to the cookie, along with fibre and protein. Feel free to substitute all-purpose flour if you prefer.
  • Chocolate chips can be used in place of chunks. Also, play around with different flavours, such as white chocolate chunks or peanut butter chips.
  • Pecans can be eliminated from this recipe or substituted with chopped walnuts or another favourite nut.
