Dry Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF version)
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Filling
- 3/4 cup Nutella (adjust based on preference, avoid overfilling)
- Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Assemble the Pie: Divide the dough in half. Press half of the dough evenly into the bottom of a greased pie dish, creating a smooth base layer. Spoon generous dollops of Nutella spaced evenly across the dough, spreading carefully but leaving some gaps to prevent overflow. Cover with the remaining dough, gently pressing the edges together to seal the Nutella filling inside.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled pie in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set. The center should remain soft and gooey with melted Nutella inside.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Nutella Stuffed Cookie Pie to cool for at least 15 minutes to help the filling thicken slightly. This prevents the Nutella from spilling out when sliced, ensuring each bite is a perfect blend of dough and filling.
Notes
- Chill the dough before assembling to make handling easier and prevent stickiness.
- Use a moderate amount of Nutella to avoid leaking and soggy crust.
- Room temperature butter is best for creaming with sugars evenly for ideal dough texture.
- Monitor the pie near the end of baking to avoid overbrowning the top.
- Let the pie rest after baking for cleaner, neater slices.
