Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
All-Purpose Flour: This is your base; choose unbleached flour for better flavor and texture.
Granulated Sugar: A touch of sweetness; adjust according to your taste preferences.
Brown Sugar: Adds moisture and rich flavor; light or dark works fine.
Baking Soda: Essential for helping your cookie pie rise perfectly without being too cakey.
Salt: Just a pinch enhances all the flavors in your pie.
Unsalted Butter: Use softened butter for easy mixing and richer flavor.
Eggs: They bind everything together; room temperature eggs mix in more easily.
Nuts (Optional): Chopped walnuts or pecans add crunch; skip if you’re not a fan.
Nutella: The star of this show! Feel free to go wild with how much you use.

Let’s Make it Together
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking from the get-go while you prepare your cookie pie.
Mix Dry Ingredients Together: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined. The aroma of sugar will start tickling your nose.
Cream Butter and Sugars Together: In another bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add both sugars while mixing until light and fluffy—this step is crucial for that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Add Eggs and Mix Well: Crack in those room-temperature eggs one at a time while continuing to mix until everything is well combined. The batter should look smooth and inviting.
Incorporate Nutella Like It’s Magic!: Gently fold in about half of that glorious Nutella into the mixture—you’ll want it swirled but not fully incorporated for an eye-catching effect when baked.
Bake It Up!: Pour the batter into a greased deep-dish pie pan. Drizzle remaining Nutella on top like you’re an artist at work. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown—with edges firm but centre slightly gooey when gently pressed.
Now there’s no turning back; you’ve created something truly delectable! Allow it to cool slightly before slicing—trust me, patience pays off when indulging in this sweet treat. Serve warm or let it cool completely for easier slicing later.
And there you have it—a Deep Dish Nutella Cookie Pie that’s not only easy but also guaranteed to impress anyone who dares take a bite! Enjoy every morsel because life is too short not to indulge in delightful desserts like these.
