How to Make Nutella Stuffed Cookie Pie
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 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
- 1 cup Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra melty chocolate bursts)
Directions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
