Another skillet cookie, so soon?!
Heck yeah. Skillet cookies rest for no one.
So I lost these pictures the first time I made this skillet cookie. I was pretty devastated. I complained. A lot.
But hey, everything happens for a reason! The second time around, I ended up tweaking the recipe a little and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
This cookie, like nearly all my cookies, is made from my trusty oatmeal cookie base. I’ve used it to make peanut butter and chocolate-dipped cookies as well as another enormous skillet cookie.
I love skillet cookies because they hit the cookie craving without all the work of forming all the little cookie dough balls and baking in batches and cooling. This baby is a one-bowl wonder, and in and out of the oven in under half an hour.
Plus, there’s nothing more satisfying than eating a warm cookie with a spoon.
This skillet cookie has pumpkin in it three ways: pumpkin purée, pumpkin butter, and pumpkin pie spice. I’ve been using pumpkin butter like crazy recently, and for good reason. It’s a spicier, richer way to bring fall flavor into desserts.
Studded with chocolate chips and sweetened with dark coconut sugar and maple syrup, this skillet cookie is a perfect balance between fall flavors and classic sweetness.
The first skillet cookie disappeared in under 24 hours, and the second has a significant chunk missing as I write this post. This is a dessert you’ll be making over and over again, I promise.
Give it a try!
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- ¼ cup pumpkin butter (or sub more vegan butter)
- ½-34 cup pumpkin purée
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp almond milk
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar (or sub brown sugar)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Beat vegan butter, pumpkin butter, and pumpkin purée with an electric mixer until well combined (1-2 minutes).
- Add maple syrup, vanilla, almond milk, and coconut sugar and beat for an additional minute until fluffy.
- Add remaining ingredients (except chocolate chips) and mix well.
- Fold chocolate chips into mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Transfer batter to an ungreased cast iron skillet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until center is set. Cool before serving.

Oh man, I definitely can’t resist a good cookie skillet! I’m loving that you made this into a pumpkin chocolate chip one! So perfect for the fall, Medha!
Thanks so much!
Holy yarm….. I want in my belly now. I could classify this as breakfast food right? 🙂
Suuuuuuure 🙂
Okay, #1: you can post as many skillet cookie recipes as you like — this looks amazing! #2: I JUST got my first real (not coated) cast iron pan for my birthday, and I fear I’m destroying it already. It was supposed to be preseasoned, so I just started using it. I never wash with soap, but it’s started rusting. I’m wondering if it’s because I let it air dry instead of drying it right away? Tell me your secrets! Lol.
I honestly have no secrets, I hand wash and dry mine (with soap!). Sometimes I let it dry on the rack, others with a towel. Mine was not pre-seasoned, though.
That last photo–> DONE totally making this! I love pumpkin and chocolate and the ease of this big skillet cookie!
Aw thanks so much! LMK if you make it 🙂
I’ve still never made a skillet cookie, but that moist delicious chocolate-y cookie is making me reconsider my entire life up until this point. On the upside of losing these photos: MORE SKILLET COOKIES!
It’s awesome!! Skillet cookies have been my dessert of choice for a while now 🙂
Everything happens for a reason! I want to eat my way through this whole skillet. YUM.
I did! Thanks 🙂
I’ve never had a skillet cookie! I need a skillet cookie! Pumpkin everything right now sounds so good to me. I’d love this with a big cup of coffee and a spoon 😉
You’ve gotta make one! I’m considering making my third this week today 🙂
The fact that you made it look like a pumpkin is awesome enough. Too cute, Medha! And it looks delicious too. I guess you were meant to lose those first pics!
Haha thanks, that was a last minute decision! Thanks 🙂
I’m convinced that skillets automatically make food taste better. I love this pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe, looks delicious!
I’d have to agree with you, Danielle! Thanks 🙂
I made my first skillet cookie this weekend and loved it! I love this flavor combination and the oats — delicious!
Thanks so much, Marcie!
Skillet cookie? Why have I not heard of this before? Even better that it has pumpkin in it too. Yum!
Skillet cookies are one of those things that you think are only on food blogs/hard to make, but are actually super easy and delicious 🙂
this looks irresistible Medha! I have never made a skillet cookie before and you are now tempting me to do so!
You’ve gotta give it a try! 🙂
I love the idea of having a lovely cookie to eat without the fuss of forming the little cookies etc. It looks so gooey and sticky (in a good way!) on the spoon – and I bet the chocolate just sends it soaring up into cookie heaven. Mmmm!
Exactly! Call me lazy, but this is a time-saver 🙂
yum yum yummmm… this is going on my list of things to try, it looks SO delicious 😉
Thanks, Michele 🙂

Oh my, I am a sucker for skillet cookies and this pumpkin and chocolate chip one looks so pretty and perfect for fall! Love that you onlydirty up one bowl and the pumpkin butter in here sounds amazing 🙂
The pumpkin butter does wonders 🙂
Oh my goodness, you won me over with the statement of “eating a warm cookie with a spoon” – glorious!
Thank you 🙂
It’s never too soon for another skillet cookie! I love this!
Thanks, Annie!
With skillet cookies there’s no such thing as too soon! This looks amazing Medha! I could eat the whole pan 🙂
I basically did! Thanks 🙂
That is so scary that you lost your photos! But a great excuse to make this cookie again! I just got my first cast iron skillet and have been loving it so far, now I just need to make some dessert in it! I LOVE your chocolate pumpkin face 🙂

Oh my goodness Medha! You’ve given me more motivation to go get a skillet!! I have a cast iron grill pan… Maybe that’ll work!? Lol. I just neeeed to go get one! Eating a warm cookie with a spoon….
