Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet is a an easy one-bowl recipe made with almond four, tahini, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and studded with chocolate chips. Gluten-free, vegan, refined sugar-free.
I am convinced that skillet cookies (along with cookie dough pots) are one of the best inventions. You get the crispy edges of a cookie, the fudgy chewiness of a brownie, and the gooey-ness you love from that slightly undercooked version of them all combined.
Add tahini to the mix, and you’ve taken it to the next level. Tahini lends a savory component that balances nicely with the sweet from the maple syrup, coconut sugar, and the chocolate chips.
A sprinkling of sea salt on top enhances that sweet-savory combo in the very best of ways.
A couple notes for this recipe:
- If you don’t need this to be vegan and/or you don’t have ground flaxseeds, you can sub with one regular egg (lightly beaten before adding) or one cornstarch egg (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 3 tablespoons water).
- Allowing this cookie skillet to cool completely is key to cutting and serving pie-like slices. Otherwise, the gooey factor will get in your way. (Not a bad thing in my opinion.)
- Adding ice cream alongside a slice or right on top and eating out fo the skillet is highly recommended.

Sheesh, Tessa! I just realized how long its been since I’ve made chocolate chip cookies… let alone a skillet cookie! OMGeee this looks good. That sea salt on top has me all heart eyes! Now, I had no idea there was such a thing as a corn starch egg – thank you for that! Beautifully captured, Tessa! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Traci! Yes, I’ve found that in some vegan baked goods, a cornstarch egg is the best! I love having that little trick. :)
