Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet- Summer Bod Edition: Food Fight Friday
Hola triple F friends!
Dandays and I have had ourselves another busy week and things aren’t showing any signs of slowing down for a few. We just made it to Jaco beach where we’ll hang out for another few days and then we are off to the volcano. More to come on that next week…
Because we’ve been so go go go lately I made sure to capture a couple food pics before we left knowing I wouldn’t have the luxury to create until we settled down again. This will probably be the last of my sweets recipes for staying inside all day and baking treats does little for your bikini body. Did y’all already know that? Apparently I’m the only one who thought eating baked goods and pasta for 30 days wouldn’t pack on a nice little king sized booty for when we arrived back at the beach, whoops 🙊.
For now I say “whatevs”.…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet
Yo, I just discovered cookie skillets. I was perusing recipes, like I often do, and BAM! I come across the infamous pizookie, or at least that’s what they call them at BJs restaurants in the states. I used to love those things with a cold scoop of salted caramel ice cream melting on top from the fresh out of the oven hot cookie cake… you know I’m a recovering sugar addict right? It’s not funny, it’s a real thing which we all should talk about more to raise global awareness. You know they put that ish in everything… Anyway, no lecture here just a yummy gluten free, refined sugar free totally delicious cookie skillet, so good it’ll make you wanna slap your mamma!
Ingredients
1 flax egg or 1 egg egg
3/4 cup ground almonds (or almond flour/almond meal)
2 Tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, mixed…)
1 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)
1.5 Tbsp coconut sugar
1.5 Tbsp agave (or maple)
1/2 Tsp vanilla extract
1/4 Tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp coconut milk (canned full-fat)
Pinch o salt
Chocolate chips (to your liking)
Chopped local Costa Rican dark chocolate 😜
Preheat your oven to 325F.
Mix your dry ingredients in a bowl and add your wet ingredients. Finish with the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate then pour into a freshly greased small cast iron skillet.
Pop in the oven for 13-15 minutes or until the top browns nicely. You’ll smell it don’t you worry.…
Dust some fancy confectioners sugar on top and let cool for 5-10 before completely inhaling it (or I mean, enjoying a slice).
From that last picture you’d think we only had an appropriate quarter size piece as a well adjusted, emotionally controlled person would have but you’d be wrong- dead wrong! We killed this cookie skillet, half for him and half for me… okay, okay, I had an extra weee little bite while dishing us up but shhhhh 🤫… it’s hard work making this summer body six pack.
A day after indulging in this oversized chocolate hunk of a cookie I decided to make some healthy shizzzz.… one would think eating a healthy plate would cancel out the sugar and calories from the cookie crack I made just the night before, until you realize fried yuca, fresh hummus, and warm pita aren’t exactly low in the calorie department 🤦🏼♀️ Yeah, my body is bangin right now… haha
Well, at least my kitchen is. As always I’m looking forward to all of the @foodfightfriday posts. Yep, I saw you @plantstoplanks, any cover shot with a doggy face like that as the first image is a triple F champ in my book. And I haven’t even read about the food yet- way to get me 👍🏾
Real quick, have y’all checked out @shadowlu yet? He’s new to the Food Fight Friday gang but you couldn’t tell. Each one of his dishes is dressed up uniquely and he adds a quick video to his written recipes- bravo @shadowlu “keep up the good work”.
Alright, catch you food flicking booger’s (not bloggers) later.
Pura Vida ✌️
Oh gosh, my mouth is watering, haha. This looks so good!!
Calorie free when you eat hot out of the oven too. The trick is to eat all of the goods before it cools down enough to know to get stored to your booty. At least it works for me 🤦🏼♀️
Haha, noted! ;)

You sure are funny. I don’t know what the problem is, you don’t look that bad to me. 😉 It looked like you wanted to say “no lecture here except sugar sucks, it’s the devil and you need to get a clue, you’re clueless.”
iheartu all the time beautifullest.
It’s the devil!!!! I heart u all the time my king! Thanks for kicking the Oreos out of our house… they are cancer biscuits.
Por Dios🤤🤤🤤🤤This looks so good I need make one
Make it make it 👏👏👏. Let me know how it turns out. Hot out of the oven is the ticket 😉
Thank you when I made it, I told you how it is. How is everything going with you and life in Costa Rica?
It’s good my sweet friend. Things are a little hectic because we are moving a couple days but we’ll settle again in about a week and I’ll be more present on here. Always wishing you good things :)
That choco cake skillet was Brutally yummy @puravidaville, thanks that you still have a picture to share it with us 😆 if I made that one just for me and my hubby.. I don't think I have any moments to capture any pics😂😂😂
Are you throwing a party there just to celebrate the wonderful memories you have in that part of Costa Rica? ... what about the mountain part? Are you saying that there will be no more sweet recipes?
I’m saying there will be no more sweet recipes. I’ve really been throwing down on the treats and my body (by body I mean swimsuit) could use the break :)
Dandays and I would share our cookie skillet with you and your hubs anytime :)
As long as you are healthy and happy @puravidaville 😉 you are the only one who knew what your body need and none will stop you to be such an amazing chef... you can cook anything and create wonderful things all this time
Thanks @cicisaja! You’re so right :)
I wanna slap you for not making that in my kitchen, hahaha! That seriously looks and sounds so much better than the ones we used to make with the tube of pre-made dough. 🤣 @dksart would be lucky if I let him have anything close to half of that. Cookies are definitely my undoing, but I don't feel bad one bit when they are homemade like this! Bravo for making the dream a reality my friend! I'm adding this one to the ever-growing list of ones I HAVE to try...
The ever growing list is right… it’s the longest list I think I’ve made in life ever. Haha… cookie skillets are the bomb and when it’s gluten free, refined sugar free, vegan, there’s NO guilt involved. Now if I could figure out how to tell my booty that it doesn’t want this healthy cookie skillet…🤔 because that’s where it goes, straight to my butt!
My list of recipes I want to try...

What an amazing recipe: yum!!! I really have to try this my Dear Pura. You are genius!😍
I’m glad you like it. Let me know how yours turns out… can’t go wrong with a cookie skillet :)
I will for sure Sweetie 😍
Life can get so busy at times... but it is good you still find some time to whip up this amazingly looking skillet cookie.
We were in a place that was miserably humid for 30 days so all I did was bake and cook. Now we are in a much better location so those cookie skillet pounds can actually come off now :). Thanks for stopping by @amy-goodrich!
😋 yummy 🤤
Thanks @geneeverett! You’re welcome to a piece anytime :)
