Vegan Double Chocolate-Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie
Prep: 15 mins Cook: 35 mins Additional: 15 mins Total: 1 hr 5 mins Servings: 12 Yield: 1 10-inch skillet cookie
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon dry egg replacer (such as Bob's Red Mill)
cup vegan butter, softened
cup white sugar
cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10 ounce) package vegan chocolate mini chips (such as Enjoy Life) cup creamy peanut butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Step 3
Combine water and egg replacer in a small bowl. Mix well and let sit until thickened,
about 1 minute.
Step 4
Cream vegan butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in the bowl of a stand
mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in egg replacer and vanilla.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Step 5
Transfer 1/2 of the dough into a well seasoned 10-inch cast iron skillet. Press down
with your fingers to distribute evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Spread peanut
butter over the dough. Press remaining dough on top of the peanut butter; it's okay if
some peanut butter is poking through.
Bake in the preheated oven until top is firm to the touch and dry and edges have
started to pull away from the sides of the skillet, 35 to 40 minutes. Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing; cookie will
firm up as it cools.

Country Sausage Gravy
Prep: 15 mins Cook: 20 mins Total: 35 mins Servings: 4 Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound pork sausage
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
2 cups milk, divided
2 cubes chicken bouillon
cup minced fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a skillet on medium heat cook pork, onion, green pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic until pork is crumbly. Drain off excess fat, but leave a small amount.
Step 2
Combine butter, salt, and pepper with the meat mixture and stir until butter melts. Slowly sift flour over the top. Mix gently and allow mixture to cook for 5 minutes. It will burn, so do not let it sit unguarded. Don't forget to scrape the bottom of the pan. Add the sage and thyme.
Slowly stir in milk, about a half a cup at a time, and incorporate it well. When the mixture thickens, add more milk. Do not let it boil vigorously, or it will burn. Add chicken bullion and let cook for five minutes. Again, if it thickens too much, add more milk. Adjust taste with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 4
Just before serving, add the parsley, and about a 1/4 cup more milk; the gravy will thicken quickly as it cools.
