Vegan Double Chocolate-Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2 . Stage

Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.

3 . Stage

Combine water and egg replacer in a small bowl. Mix well and let sit until thickened, about 1 minute.

4 . Stage

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.

5 . Stage

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.

6 . Stage

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.

7 . Stage

Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing; cookie will firm up as it cools.
