Directions
Brown the Butter:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until golden brown and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes. Stir often to prevent burning. Let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the browned butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Assemble the Pie:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or line it with parchment paper. Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared dish, spreading it evenly. Spread the Nutella over the dough layer, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with the remaining cookie dough, pressing it gently to cover the Nutella layer completely. Sprinkle with extra chocolate chips if desired.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cookie pie to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for a gooey center or let it cool completely for cleaner slices.

Storage/Reheating
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Reheating: Warm individual slices in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or reheat the entire pie in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10–15 minutes.
FAQs
Can I use store-bought cookie dough?
Yes, you can use pre-made cookie dough to save time. However, the flavor and texture may differ from the homemade version.
How do I prevent the Nutella from sinking to the bottom?
Ensure that the bottom layer of cookie dough is thick enough to support the Nutella, and avoid over-spreading the filling to the edges.
Can I freeze the cookie pie?
Yes, wrap the cooled pie tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
What type of chocolate chips work best?
Semisweet chocolate chips are recommended, but you can use milk or dark chocolate chips based on your preference.
Can I add other fillings besides Nutella?
Absolutely. Consider using caramel, fruit preserves, or other nut butters as alternative fillings.
How do I achieve a gooey center?
Bake the pie until the edges are set but the center is slightly underbaked. Allow it to cool slightly before serving to maintain the gooey texture.
Is it necessary to brown the butter?
Browning the butter adds a rich, nutty flavor to the cookie dough, enhancing the overall taste of the pie.
Can I make this recipe egg-free?
Yes, substitute each egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) or use commercial egg replacers.
What can I serve with this cookie pie?
Serve warm slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
Can I make this in a skillet?
Yes, a cast-iron skillet can be used instead of a pie dish. Adjust baking time as needed based on the thickness of the dough.
