Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° and make sure your cast iron skillet is greased (if it isn't spray with a little nonstick spray or rub it with neutral oil). Next, make the flax eggs: stir 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed and 5 tablespoons of water together, then let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.
Next, in a medium mixing bowl, stir the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together; set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and cane sugar together. Then, add the flax eggs and vanilla and whisk to combine.
Add 1 cup of the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl, along with the coconut oil, and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until the chocolate is smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet and stir. The batter is going to be thick -- it should somewhat resemble cookie dough -- and that's ok! Last, stir in ½ cup chocolate chips and ¼ cup of the pretzels.
Scoop the cookie dough into your cast iron skillet, using your hands or a wooden spoon to press it down and smooth it out. Pour the remaining chocolate chips and pretzels on top, using your hands to press them into the dough.
Bake the skillet cookie for 22-26 minutes, until the edges have set. Remove the cookie, then wait 5 minutes before adding the ice cream. Enjoy!
