Ingredients:
- 170 g butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (add more if dough is too sticky)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 300 g Nutella
Instructions:
- Prepare the cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough: Divide the cookie dough in half. Press one half into the bottom of a greased pie dish or tart pan. Spread the Nutella evenly over the top of the cookie dough base, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add the top layer: Take the remaining half of the cookie dough and press it over the Nutella layer, sealing the edges. It’s okay if some Nutella peeks through.
- Freeze: Place the assembled cookie pie in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up before baking.
- Preheat the oven: While the cookie pie is chilling, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake: Bake the Nutella cookie pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookie pie cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
Enjoy! This Nutella cookie pie is best enjoyed warm, with its gooey Nutella center and melty chocolate chips.
