We have been baking up a storm here at the Fearless Dining household trying to get ready for the holidays. Although we have our favorite cookie recipes, we are always experimenting with flavors to come up with new gluten-free cookie recipes.
I am super excited to share my newest discovery with you. This is for those who love Bailey's Irish Cream. There is a new chocolate chip in town and this one has all of the flavors of Bailey's!! BAILEYS® Original Irish Cream Baking Chips are non-alcoholic, kosher dairy, semi-sweet baking chips that help bring the smooth taste of BAILEYS® to all your favorite homemade desserts!
Try them in your gluten-free baking and you will find they add so much indulgent flavor and goodness. Find them at your local Walmart.
Why this recipe is great:
This gluten free skillet chocolate chip cookie recipe is what a cookie should be. Slightly soft, chewy, and full of melted chocolate chips. It makes a great cookie for a birthday celebration, or a gluten free dessert for any time. You can make it as a giant cookie, or use the cookie dough to make drop-style cookies.
Is this skillet cookie the same as a pizookie?
Do you prefer to call this cookie a giant cookie, skillet cookie, or pizookie? This has been hotly debated in our house and we still have not determined a winner on this one.
A pizookie is a cross between a cookie and a pizza...cookie style! Whatever you decide to call this cookie...you will want to make this recipe over and over again with these new chips!
Making this recipe with the kids was so much fun. This cookie is so good with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge!
Ingredient notes:
- Gluten free flour blend - I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
- If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
- Baileys Chips - feel free to use chocolate chips if you can't find these specialty chips.
- Butter - use vegan butter to make these dairy-free.

Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:
Baking cookies in your cast-iron skillet is really easy. Rub butter or coconut oil all along the bottom and sides of the pan. Add your cookie dough and bake!
I used a 10-inch cast-iron skillet to make this gluten free skillet chocolate chip cookie. If you want to use a larger skillet, you will need to double the recipe.
That is a great question and unfortunately, you can't make this cookie stovetop. The direct heat to the bottom of the pan will burn your cookie.
You can easily make this recipe dairy free by using vegan butter or coconut oil.
This cookie will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

- To make drop style cookies, use a cookie scoop to drop the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
- To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the donut. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done baking. If you see batter or crumbs, the cookie needs to bake longer.

Hi , can you substitute some of the flour with cocoa powder.
Thanks
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Karen, I haven't tested this so I am not sure. If you do try it, please let me know how it turns out. Are you just looking for more of a chocolate cookie? If so, use my Gluten Free Brownie Cookies recipe and put the batter into a skillet. It is amazing!
Karen
Thank you. I will try that. I try not to use all flour in recipes so it does not taste gluten free . I will try both recipes thanks
Sam
Hello! Would this work the same in a regular baking tin if i didn't have a cast iron skillet?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Sam, you can definitely make this in an 8x8 pan.
