    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    I love this recipe and so does everyone who has ever tried it. Here are my top 5 reasons why:

    • The recipe is perfect for beginners! Its so simple to make.
    • This Vegan Cookie Skillet is eggless and dairy-free, so anyone can enjoy it!
    • Its chewy, gooey and full of chocolate and salted caramel flavor.
    • This recipe uses simple ingredients.
    • Its customizable to whatever cookie mix-ins you have on hand.

    Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients needed to make this recipe on a marble board.

    Vegan Butter: As always I use Soy-Free Earth Balance. But, use whatever non-dairy butter you prefer.

    Flax Egg: A flax egg is a combination of ground flax and water. It acts as a binder in this recipe, kind of how a regular egg would. But, since this salted caramel chocolate chip skillet cookie is vegan and eggless, flax egg it is!

    Chocolate Chips: I like semi-sweet for this recipe, but use whatever you have on hand.

    Soft Caramel Candy: Sometimes I like to make caramel for deserts like my Vegan Millionaires Shortbread. But, when I buy caramel, I always use Cocomels Sea Salt Caramels. They are so delicious! Just be sure you don't use hard caramels!

    Flakey Sea Salt: I like to top this cookie skillet with a little extra flakey salt when it comes out of the oven.

    Variations and Substitutions

    You can use any cookie mix-ins you want for this recipe! Add pretzels, white chocolate chips or even walnuts or pecans. Don't be afraid to get creative.

    But, if you want even more chocolate, make my Cookies and Cream Pizookie!

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Flax egg mixture in a small white cup.

    Step 1. Mix the flax egg by combining ground flax, water and vanilla. Mix and set aside.
