A Spooky Spin on My Favorite Low-Carb Cookie Skillet

If you’ve tried my Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie with Elevate Protein Flour, you already know how much I love this recipe — it’s warm, gooey, and tastes just like the skillet cookies I used to bake before going low-carb.

But this fall, I wanted to make something a little extra.

With Halloween right around the corner, I decided to create a Double Chocolate Protein Skillet Cookie — rich, dark, and decadent, with just the right amount of spooky fun. Adding unsweetened cocoa powder gives this cookie a fudgy brownie texture that pairs perfectly with melty chocolate chips and a scoop of sugar-free ice cream on top.

This version is still keto-friendly, dairy-free optional, and packed with protein thanks to Elevate Protein Flour. It’s a crowd-pleaser that satisfies your sweet tooth and your macros!

What’s New in This Version

If you made the original skillet cookie, you’ll love how easy this update is. It’s nearly the same recipe — with one delicious upgrade.

1. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

I added ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dough to create that rich, double-chocolate flavor. It gives the cookie a dark, fudgy base that’s perfect for fall baking (and honestly, tastes even better the next day!).

2. Halloween Vibes

Since I was baking this for our Halloween party, I leaned into the spooky theme.

Try topping your cookie with:

• Sugar-free white chocolate chips for a “ghostly” look
• Crumbled sugar-free peanut butter cups
• Orange and black sugar-free sprinkles (Lily’s and ChocZero both have fun seasonal options!)

It’s festive, fun, and indulgent — without the sugar crash.

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium oven-safe skillet (8–10 inches) with coconut oil or butter.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients In a mixing bowl, whisk together protein flour, Allulose, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
