Protein Sugar Cookie Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (For the cookie; scoop weight is not specified in the source.)
• 6 tbsp maple syrup (For the cookie.)
• 8 tbsp butter (Softened. The source says to reduce this to about three-fourths of the amount and make up the difference with unsweetened applesauce or plain Greek yogurt.)
• 4 tbsp cashew butter (For the cookie.)
• 4 tsp milk (For the cookie.)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract (For the cookie.)
• salt (1 pinch, for the cookie.)
• 4 tbsp sprinkles (Fold into the cookie dough.)
• 2 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt (For the icing.)
• 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder (For the icing.)
• 1 tsp maple syrup (For the icing.)
• 1 tsp milk (For the icing.)
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract (For the icing.)
• sprinkles (For topping.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch skillet.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Add the softened butter, cashew butter, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until crumbly, then press together until a dough forms.

4. 4

   Fold the 4 tablespoons of sprinkles into the dough.

5. 5

   Press the dough evenly into the greased skillet and smooth the top.

6. 6

   Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set but still soft. Let the skillet cool for 10 minutes to keep the cookie gooey.

7. 7

   In a small bowl, mix the vanilla Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

8. 8

   Drizzle the icing over the warm skillet cookie and finish with additional sprinkles.

Notes

The source gives a bake time of 15–20 minutes and a listed cook time of 22 minutes. The butter substitution note says to reduce the butter to about three-fourths of the listed amount and make up the difference with unsweetened applesauce or plain Greek yogurt, but it does not provide an exact replacement quantity.
