How to make Nutella Cookie Cake

Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Then spray a 9″ springform pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

Dough

Next use an electric hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together for 3 minutes, until smooth and creamy. 

Then add in the eggs and vanilla extract to your mixing bowl. Beat these ingredients together for another 2-3 minutes, or until fluffy and light in color. 

Gently whisk in the baking soda, baking powder, and flour until just combined. 

After that fold in the chocolate chips with a large spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. 

Spread about half of the cookie dough out in a 9-inch springform pan. Then spread the Nutella over the cookie dough and then top it with the remaining cookie dough. 

Bake

Place the cookie cake in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Let your cookie cake cool on the counter for 30 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

Variations for Nutella Cookie Cake

Adding additional mix-ins can enhance the Nutella Cookie Cake experience. Here are some suggestions:

• Nut Mix: Incorporate ½ cup of chopped nuts like walnuts or hazelnuts for added crunch.
• Herbs and Spices: A touch of sea salt on top before baking can balance the sweetness. Also consider adding cinnamon for a warm and cozy taste.
• Salted Caramel: Drizzle ½ cup of salted caramel over the Nutella for a rich contrast.
• Stuffed Centers: Instead of just Nutella, try a combination of peanut butter and Nutella for a unique taste sensation.

How long is this Nutella cookie cake good for?

To store your cookie cake, cover the pan with plastic wrap and keep it on the counter or in the fridge. When covered tightly, you can store this dessert for up to 3-5 days. Refrigeration can extend its lifespan to about a week, but be aware the refrigeration may alter the cake texture.

Reheat a slice of your cookie cake in the microwave for 20-40 seconds, or until warm. 

How much Nutella is typically used in a cookie filling?

For a rich and flavorful filling, 2 cups of Nutella is commonly used. This amount allows for a generous spread in the center of the cake, ensuring each bite is full of Nutella goodness.

How can I modify this recipe to use pre-made cookie dough?

To adapt the recipe for pre-made cookie dough, simply flatten the dough in a baking pan. Create an indention in the center, then spread Nutella before adding more dough on top. Bake as instructed on the dough package to achieve a delicious result.

What are some tips for creating the perfect soft and chewy cookie cake texture?

To achieve a soft and chewy texture, consider using both brown sugar and white sugar. Ensure not to overmix the batter, and slightly underbake the cake for a fudgier center. Additionally, letting it cool completely in the pan can help maintain moisture.

Tips & Tricks for making a Nutella Stuffed Cookie Pie

Here are just a few tips for ensuring your cookie cake comes out perfectly every time!

• It is important to let your cookie cake cool when it comes out of the oven. This makes it much much easier to slice without making a mess. 
• Serve this cookie cake on its own or topped with your favorite flavor of ice cream. 
• Because the Nutella is going to add so much sweetness to this dessert, I like to use light rather than dark brown sugar.
