This Nutella Cookie Pie is not here to behave. It is thick, gooey, unapologetically rich, and basically dares you to pretend you are only having one slice. Crisp golden edges, a soft and chewy centre, and a generous layer of warm Nutella hiding inside like the best kind of secret, much like these gooey chocolate s’mores crepes when you want another over the top Nutella dessert.

It bakes up like a cookie, slices like a pie, and eats like a full dessert moment. Grab a spoon, add ice cream if you are feeling fancy, and accept the fact that this is not a quiet, polite dessert. It is loud, indulgent, and absolutely worth it.

The best buttery and gooey Nutella stuffed deep dish chocolate chip skillet cookie

This Nutella Cookie Pie works because the cookie dough is thick enough to hold everything together while still staying soft right where it counts. You get crisp edges that bake up beautifully, with a centre that stays gooey and rich instead of dry or crumbly.

That layer of Nutella in the middle is what turns this into a proper nutella stuffed cookie pie. It melts just enough as it bakes, creating a warm, silky centre that makes every slice feel like a cookie with Nutella filling you actually want to savour. If you love that gooey, hidden center, you also have to try this warm chocolate chip skillet cookie with cheesecake filling.

Labeled flatlay image of ingredients for a Nutella cookie pie. Bowls are arranged on a light surface and include butter, vanilla, flour, brown sugar, white sugar, Nutella, chocolate chips, baking soda, and salt. An egg is placed directly on the surface, and each ingredient is clearly labeled with red tags.

This Nutella Cookie Pie is made with simple pantry staples and a generous scoop of Nutella for that gooey center we all love, I even celebrate World Nutella day with a collection of the best recipes. Here are a few of the key ingredients that make this nutella stuffed cookie pie truly special:

  • Butter: Softened butter gives the dough richness and helps create those golden edges with a soft, chewy centre.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds moisture and that irresistible chew that keeps the cookie thick instead of cakey.
  • Nutella: The star of the show, creating that molten centre that turns this into a nutella cookie cake rather than a regular cookie.
  • Chocolate Chips: Extra chocolate throughout the dough because restraint has no place here.

Note: Please see recipe card at the bottom for full ingredients list with measurements.

Feeling Extra? Here Are Some Fun Add Ins

The base recipe is already doing a lot, but if you feel like playing around, these add ins and swaps slide right in without causing chaos.

  • Dark Chocolate Chips: Perfect if you love a deeper chocolate flavour with less sweetness.
  • Chopped Hazelnuts: Add crunch and lean fully into that chocolate hazelnut situation.
  • Peanut Butter: A great swap if Nutella is not your thing or you are feeling nostalgic.
  • Gluten Free Flour: A good cup for cup blend works well and keeps the texture on point.
  1. Prepare Your Skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch cast iron skillet or pie dish with baking or parchment paper and set it aside.
  1. Make the Dough Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter, both sugars, and vanilla until light and creamy. Add the egg and mix until combined.
  1. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in half of the chocolate chips, then spoon half of the cookie dough into the prepared skillet and spread it out evenly.
  1. Melt and Layer Nutella: Microwave the Nutella for about 30 seconds until it’s smooth and pourable. Spread it over the cookie dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  1. Add Remaining Dough: Top the Nutella layer with the remaining cookie dough, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Sprinkle the top with the rest of the chocolate chips.
  1. Bake and Cool: Bake for 25–30 minutes for a gooey Nutella Cookie Pie. For a firmer texture, cover with foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

For a cozy, balanced meal, serve this Nutella Cookie Pie after something savory and hearty. Try Creamy Beef Stroganoff With Mushrooms, tender beef in a rich, creamy sauce that pairs beautifully with the sweet, gooey dessert.Or go bold with Hearty Creole Jambalaya, loaded with sausage, shrimp, and spices. Both dishes bring comfort and flavor that make this nutella stuffed cookie pie the perfect finish. For an extra treat, enjoy a warm mug of my Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate on the side, its creamy sweetness matching the rich Nutella perfectly.

  • If your dough feels too soft, chill it briefly. This helps keep the layers defined and stops spreading.
  • Warm the Nutella just enough to spread easily. Too hot and it will melt straight into the dough instead of staying gloriously thick.
  • Pull the cookie pie out while the centre still looks slightly underdone. It will finish setting as it cools and stay gooey.
  • Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing unless you enjoy molten cookie chaos. No judgement either way.

Recipe FAQ’s

How Do I Reheat Leftovers?

To keep the cookie with Nutella filling gooey, reheat slices in the microwave for about 15–20 seconds. You can also warm the whole pie in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes.

Can I Use A Pie Dish Instead Of A Skillet?

Absolutely. A pie dish works just as well as a cast iron skillet. The edges might be slightly softer, but the Nutella cookie pie will still bake up beautifully.

Can I Use Homemade Nutella Or Another Spread?

Yes! If you prefer, you can use a refined sugar-free Nutella alternative or your favorite chocolate-hazelnut spread.

Ingredients 
 

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 cup flour all purpose or plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark/semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup nutella melted, or this Refined Sugar-Free Nutella Spread

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F | 175°C. Line a 9″ cast iron skillet (or pie dish) with baking/parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and creamy. Whisk in the egg until combined. 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 1/2 the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Melt the Nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds until it becomes thinner in consistency.
  • Spread the Nutella over the cookie dough in the skillet evenly to 1-inch of the edges. Top with remaining cookie dough, smoothing the layer with the back of a metal spoon (and your fingers if you need to). Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
  • 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.

Notes

Tip: My most important tip is to warm the Nutella in your microwave for 30-60 seconds until it is runnier rather than spreadable. This makes it easier to spread.

    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.

    1. Karina says:

    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..

    1. 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?

    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.

    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 🙂
