Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 240 grams brown butter
- 70 grams granulated sugar
- 140 grams brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams chocolate chips
Filling and Topping
- 150 grams Nutella (use 100g for filling, reserve extra if desired for drizzling or serving)
- 40 grams chocolate chips (for topping)
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter while stirring constantly. Continue cooking as it foams and turns a golden brown color, releasing a nutty aroma. Immediately transfer to a heatproof bowl to cool completely.
- Mix the Sugars and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs. Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy to incorporate air and improve cookie texture.
- Add Vanilla and Browned Butter: Pour the cooled brown butter and vanilla extract into the sugar and egg mixture. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and fully combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Using a spatula, gently fold in the all-purpose flour until no dry streaks remain, taking care not to overmix to keep the dough tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Add the chocolate chips to the dough and fold gently to distribute them evenly.
- Prepare the Pie Dish: Grease a pie dish with butter or non-stick spray and optionally line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Assemble the Cookie Pie: Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish. Spread 100 grams of Nutella over the dough base, then cover with the remaining dough, sealing the edges well. Sprinkle 40 grams of chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Bake the Cookie Pie: Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft and gooey.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or additional chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is cooled completely before adding to the eggs to prevent scrambling.
- Do not overmix the flour to keep the cookie pie tender.
- You can drizzle extra Nutella or melted chocolate over slices when serving.
- For easier slicing, chill the cookie pie briefly after cooling.
- Use parchment paper to lift the pie out of the dish cleanly.
