Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
- 1 cup Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)
Optional
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra melty chocolate bursts)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Start by creaming the unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips for extra bursts of melty chocolate.
- Shape the Base Layer: Take half of the cookie dough and press it evenly into a well-greased pie dish or cast-iron skillet, forming a flat, uniform layer. This will serve as the base that holds the Nutella filling.
- Add the Nutella Layer: Spread a generous layer of Nutella over the cookie dough base, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent leaking during baking. This creamy, rich layer is the heart of the pie.
- Top with Remaining Dough: Divide the remaining cookie dough into chunks and scatter them gently over the Nutella layer. You may slightly flatten the pieces to create a more even top or leave them uneven for a rustic look and to allow steam to escape.
- Bake Until Golden: Place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-baking, ensuring the center remains soft and melty.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Nutella Stuffed Cookie Pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set slightly so it doesn’t spill out when cut.
Notes
- Chill the cookie dough for 20-30 minutes before assembling for better texture and easier handling.
- Grease your pie dish or skillet generously to prevent sticking.
- Mix the dough just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
- Start checking the pie at 25 minutes during baking to prevent drying out.
- Use high-quality Nutella for the best flavor and creaminess.
