SEATTLE — Cookies come in many shapes and sizes in the modern age, but food and lifestyle blogger and dietician Rachael Devaux is taking them a step further. With the help of the plant-based ice cream company Frankie & Jo's, Devaux has whipped up a recipe for a cookie skillet that's sure to compliment any ice cream flavor you dare to put on top of it. Devaux's recipe is notably healthier than your average cookie recipe with ingredients like cashew butter, almond milk, and coconut oil. Devaux joins New Day Northwest to show us how to make cookies with her healthy recipe and talk about her partnership with Frankie & Jo's.
Check out Devaux's recipe below.
