- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.

Substitutions & Additions
If you’re looking to switch things up, here are a few ideas:
- Nut Butter: Try using almond or peanut butter instead of Nutella for a different flavor.
- Gluten-Free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
- Mix-ins: Add nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined to keep your cookie pie tender.
- Check with a toothpick: Ensure it’s fully baked by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean, with a few crumbs.
- Prep ahead: You can prepare the dough a day in advance and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake.
How to Store Nutella Stuffed Cookie Pie!!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. Just warm it slightly in the microwave before serving for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste!
FAQs
Can I freeze the cookie pie?
Absolutely! Once cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing. It can last up to three months in the freezer.
Can I make this without eggs?
Yes! You can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water).
How do I know when the cookie pie is done baking?
Look for a golden brown top and use the toothpick test. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it’s ready!
