Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup (220g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 3/4 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups (275g) semisweet or dark chocolate chips, divided
Filling
- 1/2 cup (120g) Nutella (or chocolate SunButter for a nut-free option)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, then beat in the 2 large eggs and 1 egg yolk until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form the cookie dough.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in 1 cup (about 180g) of the semisweet or dark chocolate chips into the dough evenly.
- Prepare the skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
- Assemble the cookie pie: Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the skillet. Gently spread the Nutella (or chocolate SunButter) over the dough layer, avoiding the edges. Top with the remaining cookie dough and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup (about 95g) of chocolate chips.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cookie is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookie pie to cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for melty, gooey Nutella goodness.
Notes
- You can substitute Nutella with chocolate SunButter for a nut-free version.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
- Do not overbake; the cookie will continue to firm up as it cools.
- If you don’t have a skillet, a 9-inch round cake pan works as a good alternative.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgence.
