Nutella Stuffed Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie (Pizookie)
Buttery and gooey on the inside, crispy and golden on the outside! This Nutella Stuffed Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie had all of us weak at the knees begging for more, desperately scraping each and every crumb directly out of the pan like we’d been starving for weeks!
Nutella Stuffed Skillet Cookie
I accidentally on purpose made this THREE TIMES while testing, and then 50 million times since then.
Baked in a skillet or pie dish, this giant cookie just melts in your mouth. There’s nothing better than a warm chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven, especially one that is oozing with chocolate hazelnut Nutella.
Serve it while still warm in the centre of your table with a bunch of spoons digging into the buttery cookie and gooey warm Nutella filling, or wait for it to cool completely and enjoy the gooey mouthwatering crunch with a soft centre. Either way, you’re winning.
I mean, do you see the Nutella goodness in there?
How To Make AÂ Nutella Stuffed Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
You’re going to need three layers!
- Chocolate chip cookie dough.
- Nutella
- More chocolate chip cookie dough.
Tips:
- My most important tip is to warm the Nutella in your microwave for 30-60 seconds until it is runnier than spreadable. This makes it easier to spread.
- Spread the Nutella to 1-inch away from the edges so when that top layer of cookie dough goes on the Nutella, it doesn’t ooze out everywhere.
- Use a 9-inch pie dish or round cake pan if you don’t have a cast iron skillet.
- 8-inch skillets or pie dishes will also work. You may need extra baking time (about 5 minutes).
- The longer you leave it in the oven, the more ‘set’ it will be in the centre. If you like slightly under-baked cookies, aim for no longer than 30 minutes. For a set cookie, tent will foil after 35 minutes and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, or until set to your liking.
This cookie is easier than you expect it to be and a major success with the family. The whole skillet is usually cleaned in less than 5 seconds.
You can feel the stickiness and the gooeyness of the Nutella sticking to every part of the knife when cutting into this cookie. Biting into it is pure pleasure.

Nutella Stuffed Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie (Pizookie)
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened

- â…“ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup flour all purpose or plain flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- â…“ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup dark/semi-sweet chocolate chips

Add the flour, baking soda and salt, and mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Fold in half of the chocolate chips and spoon ½ the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

- Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes for a gooey cookie, or cover after 30 minutes with aluminium foil and bake for a further 10 minutes for a 'set' cookie. Cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Oh my goodness, I tried this recipe last night and OMG I almost burned my hands and mouth trying to eat this thing straight out of the oven! This hands down is an awesome recipe! I had never tried Nutella before last night and I must say I am a fan of this stuff! My cookie was so moist and oooey gooey that I couldn’t let the thing cool off before cutting me a slice or two or three….lol! I will certainly make this again!

This one looks dilicious. I want to try making this as cupcakes. Could you tell me how long should I bake it if I were using cupcakes to get the goey center. 15 mins?
Thank you.
Karina says
I’d check them after 10 minutes to be on the safe side!

Hi Karina..
I have been wanting to try this recipe since what feels like a year or so..
I couldn’t find the light brown sugar where I stay..
Can I skip or replace it with something else..???
Please do respond. I can’t wait any longer to try this..
Thank you..
Karina says
You can use regular brown sugar instead. Hope you enjoy your cookies! XO

I tried making this but I ran into trouble when baking it: for some reason, it started to rise extremely much and I couldn’t leave it for 30 minutes, had to take it out after 20. The thing I did differently was to use a ceramic pie dish (seeing as I don’t have a skillet like yours), could that be the problem?
Marisa says
hey!! have made this five times in the past two weeks! other than the taste, it is soooo easy and quick!
Lanissa says
Hello! I’m making this tomorrow, would it be too gooey on top to put an icing on top? I want to write out happy birthday but don’t want it to melt or something.
ana says

Yusuf says

AMAZING – And tastes great cold the next day. Pretty quick and easy to make too. We also decided to add a few Montezuma organic smooth milk chocolate giant buttons on the top for good measure 🙂
