Instructions

step one, Brown the Butter

Browning butter is key to enhancing the flavor of this Nutella cookie pie. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly as the butter begins to foam and turn golden brown. You’ll notice a nutty aroma when it’s ready. Transfer the browned butter to a heatproof bowl and let it cool completely before using.

step two, Mix the Sugars and Eggs

In a large mixing bowl, combine 140g brown sugar, 70g granulated sugar, and two eggs. Whisk the mixture for 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy. This step is essential for achieving the perfect cookie texture.

step three, Add Vanilla and Cooled Brown Butter

Pour the cooled browned butter into the sugar and egg mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is smooth and well combined.

step four, incorporate Dry Ingredients

Switch to a spatula and gently fold in 300g all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.

step five, Fold in Chocolate Chips

Stir in 200g of chocolate chips. These will add bursts of melted chocolate throughout your Nutella cookie pie.

step six, Prepare the Pie Dish

Grease a pie dish with butter or cooking spray. For easier removal, line the dish with parchment paper.

step seven, Assemble the Cookie Pie

Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pie dish, spreading it slightly up the sides. Spread 100g of Nutella evenly over the base layer, ensuring the Nutella covers the middle. Then, gently cover the Nutella with the remaining cookie dough, sealing the edges completely. For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle 40g of chocolate chips on top.

step eight, Bake the Cookie Pie

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the cookie pie for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The center will remain slightly soft, ensuring a gooey texture.

step nine, Cool and Serve

Allow the Nutella cookie pie to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or drizzle with extra chocolate sauce for the ultimate dessert experience.
