Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling and Optional Add-ins
- 1 cup Nutella
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Start by creaming together the softened butter with both white and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well before gradually incorporating the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to form a smooth dough.
- Shape the Cookie Base: Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of a greased pie dish, creating a flat, even layer as the base.
- Add the Nutella Filling: Spread a generous layer of Nutella over the cookie dough base, ensuring it stays away from the edges to prevent leaking during baking.
- Cover with Remaining Dough: Crumble and gently press the remaining cookie dough on top of the Nutella layer, sealing in the filling while maintaining a rustic, slightly uneven appearance.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the cookie pie in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing into warm, gooey pieces that showcase the delicious chocolate hazelnut surprise inside.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure smooth dough consistency.
- Mix just until ingredients combine to keep the cookie pie tender, not tough.
- Spread Nutella evenly with a spatula for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Watch bake time carefully; underbaking yields a softer, gooier center, while additional minutes produce squarer edges.
- Cool slightly before slicing to let the filling set and prevent messy slices.
