• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread)

Tools Used to Make Nutella Stuffed Cookie Pie

• 9-inch pie dish or cake pan
• Mixing bowls (large and medium)
• Electric mixer or stand mixer
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Rubber spatula
• Plastic wrap
• Cooling rack

How to Make Nutella Stuffed Cookie Pie

1. Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in 1½ cups of chocolate chips, saving the remaining ½ cup for the top.
6. Assemble the pie: Press two-thirds of the cookie dough into the prepared pie dish, creating a well in the center. Spread the Nutella evenly over the center, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
7. Add top layer: Take the remaining dough and flatten pieces between your palms, then arrange them over the Nutella layer, covering it completely. Press the edges to seal. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
8. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
9. Cool: Allow the cookie pie to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing. The center will continue to set as it cools.

For a gooier center, serve warm. For cleaner slices, cool completely before cutting. This homemade vegetable potstickers recipe makes a great savory dish to balance out the sweetness of this dessert!

Variations of Nutella Stuffed Cookie Pie

1. Nutella Peanut Butter Combo: Swirl 1/4 cup of peanut butter with the Nutella for an extra nutty flavor. Try making easy homemade keto crackers to serve with coffee alongside this rich dessert.
2. Triple Chocolate: Add white chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks to the dough for a triple chocolate experience. Pair with easy cinnamon twists for a dessert platter.
3. Salted Caramel Surprise: Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the Nutella layer before covering with dough. Just like our fresh strawberry quinoa salad, this sweet-salty combo is irresistible.
4. S’mores Style: Add marshmallows and graham cracker pieces to the cookie dough for a s’mores-inspired twist.
5. Fruity Addition: Layer sliced bananas or strawberries over the Nutella for a fruit-infused version, similar to our blueberry croissant French toast bake.

Serving Nutella Stuffed Cookie Pie

Serve this indulgent Nutella stuffed cookie pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for maximum enjoyment. The contrast between the warm, gooey cookie pie and cold ice cream creates an irresistible dessert experience.

For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over the top. A light dusting of powdered sugar also adds a beautiful finishing touch and subtle sweetness.

This pie is perfect for dessert after a meal like crispy Baja fish tacos or served at potlucks, family gatherings, or special occasions. It transports well and can be made ahead of time – simply reheat individual slices for 15-20 seconds in the microwave before serving.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, though it rarely lasts that long!
