Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (220g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 egg yolk
Dry Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Chocolate & Nutella
- 1 1/2 cups (275g) semisweet or dark chocolate chips, divided
- 1/2 cup (120g) Nutella or chocolate SunButter for a nut-free option
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, then beat in the 2 large eggs and 1 egg yolk until fully incorporated.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in half of the semisweet or dark chocolate chips (about 3/4 cup or 137g), reserving the rest for topping.
- Assemble the skillet cookie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Press about two-thirds of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the skillet. Dollop the Nutella or chocolate SunButter over the dough layer and then spread it gently to cover most of the surface.
- Top with remaining dough and chocolate chips: Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the Nutella layer and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly on top.
- Bake the cookie pie: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cookie edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookie pie to cool in the skillet for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving to let the Nutella center set slightly. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute Nutella with chocolate SunButter.
- Ensure the butter is room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
- This dessert is best served warm to enjoy the gooey Nutella center.
- Use a well-seasoned or non-stick oven-safe skillet for easy removal and serving.
- Leftovers can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
