Ingredients Needed
All purpose flour.
Apple sauce. I prefer unsweetened. This will react as our “egg” in the recipe.
Baking soda. Be sure it is fresh and now expired, this is what fluffs the skillet cookie.
Salt. You will need a little salt for this to react with the baking soda. I prefer course sea salt.
Chocolate chips. Be sure they are vegan! I prefer semi sweet.
Vanilla extract. For flavor!
Brown sugar. I prefer light brown sugar. This is what gives the cookie a lovely chewy consistency. You can also use brown sugar substitute if you are are watching sugar intake.
Granulated white sugar. Helps crisp the cookie!
Peanut Butter. I always opt for a natural peanut butter.
Vegan Butter. You can use any plant based butter, there are several options out there. Just read the label. This needs to be room temp for best outcome!
Steps To Make This Recipe
Step one. Preheat oven to 350º In a stand mixer are large bowl, mix room temperature plant based butter with both the brown sugar and the granulated white sugar. Mix by hand if not using a stand mixer. Just cream the sugar and butter and be sure it is mixed well.
Step two. Add in the applesauce, vanilla extract and mix well. Then add in flour, salt baking soda, chocolate chips. Mix well. Next, add in the peanut butter and mix just a bit, try not to over mix if you want pockets of peanut butter throughout the cookie.
Step three. In a greased 10 inch skillet or cast iron, spread skillet cookie dough evenly. Make sure it is smooth over the top so the skillet cookie cookies evenly. Feel free to add some extra chocolate chips to the top for looks.

Hi,
I can’t find how much Baking Soda to add… it is missing from the ingredients list in the recipe and I can’t find it anywhere else on the page. Am I missing it completely? Thanks!
The peanut butter is also missing from the ingredients list in the recipe, but it looks like 1/2 cup in the photo?
Hi Julie! I am SO sorry – yes, 1/2 cup peanut butter and then 1/2 tsp baking soda, forgive me I will edit that in now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
