Why use a flax egg in these peanut butter cookie skillets?

A flax egg, made from ground flaxseed and water, acts as a binder in this vegan recipe, replacing traditional eggs to help hold the cookie dough together.

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of whole wheat pastry flour?

While the recipe calls for whole wheat pastry flour for a tender texture, you could substitute it with all-purpose flour, though the final texture might be slightly different.

What are the best ways to enjoy these warm cookie skillets?

These peanut butter cookie skillets are best enjoyed warm straight from the oven, either plain, topped with dairy-free ice cream, or with a splash of non-dairy milk.

How many cookie skillets does this recipe yield?

This recipe is designed to be split into at least 6 large cookie balls, which are then baked individually in skillets.

How should I store leftover vegan peanut butter cookie skillets?

Store any leftover cookie skillets in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or refrigerate for longer freshness. Reheat gently before serving.

How to Prepare Peanut Butter Cookie Skillets [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Start by making the flax egg. In a small dish, combine the tablespoon of ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir and let it sit for at least 5 minutes.
Next, using a stand mixer (we use this one) with the paddle attachment, cream the vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Once creamed, scrape down the sides with a rubber scraper. Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and flax egg. Mix until well combined.
In a medium-size bowl, add the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, and salt (if you are using it). Stir until well mixed with a wooden spoon or whisk.
With the electric mixer on at a slow speed, slowly add the flour, baking soda, and salt mixture. Mix until just combined.
Once the dough is mixed, roll the dough into your desired cookie size. We split this recipe into at least 6 large cookie balls. Add each ball to a skillet.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the desired doneness.
Eat warm out of the oven by itself, topped with dairy-free ice cream, or with a splash of non-dairy milk.
Enjoy!

Notes

Note, you do not need to have cast iron skillets to make this recipe! You can make them into traditional cookies too. It will just change the baking time and yield of the recipe.
