Peanut Butter Cheesecake Cookie Skillet (Gluten & Grain Free)

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Cookie Skillet (Gluten & Grain Free)

This is for those of you who can never be bothered to wait for the cookie dough to rest in the fridge, and would rather shove spoonfuls of dough into your mouth over calmly spooning it onto a baking tray. I feel ya, I can be one of those too! So much so that about 1/4 of the cookie dough never makes it into the oven 😉

It’s a perfect rainy day dessert, where I just hide under a blanket with this cookie and watch one too many episodes on Netflix – you know, when it decides to ask you if you’re still there and watching because you haven’t moved in the last few hours? Ya, that’s me as soon as there is some chill in the air.

I’ve been really getting into stevia and erythritol recently, as both are basically zero calories and don’t spike blood sugar levels like using something like actual sugar, coconut sugar, or maple syrup would.

This cookie skillet is:

  • Gluten free
  • Grain free
  • Low carb
  • Sugar free & naturally sweetened
  • Peanut butter-y
  • Chocolate chip porn

For extra #foodporn factor I drizzled over some light tahini and choc-hazelnut butter and is was damn delicious!

Notes
*I like to use erythritol and stevia, though a blend would also work.
