Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Pies – These mini pies are made with an all-butter pastry stuffed with Nutella and topped with soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookie!
Who else loves Nutella, pies/tarts, and chocolate chip cookies? Well, today I have combined all three of them – I bring you Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Pies! Mini Pies!
These pies start off with a flaky, all-butter pastry, then the divine hazelnut chocolate centre, and last but not least, the chocolate chip cookie topping.
Serve these pies warm with a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate Nutella dessert!
How to make Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Pies
Ingredients you’ll need for the pastry:
- plain/all-purpose flour
- unsalted butter
- icing/powdered sugar
- large egg yolk
- vanilla extract
- cold water
For the cookie:
- unsalted butter
- caster/granulated sugar
- light brown sugar
- large egg
- vanilla extract
- plain/all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- cornflour/cornstarch
- baking soda
- salt
- chocolate chips
- Nutella
To make these mini pies, simply place 12 teaspoons of Nutella onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and freeze until solid – about 1 hour.
Add the flour to a large bowl. Add the butter and, using your fingertips, rub into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.
In a small jug, or mug, lightly beat the egg yolk with the vanilla extract and water. Add to the flour mixture, and mix in using a knife. Gather together to make a soft dough.
Wrap the dough in clingfilm, and chill for at least 30 minutes before use. Alternatively, you can use a food processor to make the pastry.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry, and using a pastry or cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles/fluted circles, and press into a greased 12-hole muffin pan.
For the cookie topping, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cornflour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Whisk together the butter and sugars until combined. Add the egg, and vanilla, and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Place a teaspoon of the frozen Nutella into the centre of each pie crust, then press 1 oz balls of cookie dough on top. Sprinkle with extra chocolate chips if desired, and bake for 15 – 20 minutes.
Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.
Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

- deliciously thick and chewy
- the perfect cookie, pie, and Nutella combo!
How long will these Nutella pies last? These pies will stay fresh, kept in an airtight container, at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 1 week.

I made these and followed the instructions to a "T" but was so disappointed that the pie crust did not come together. I ended up using store bought crust instead and they still came out delicious as the concept is awesome but please revisit the crust recipe.

Just can't wait to make these also but am trying to regulate my weight at the present. Mentions the calories but how many in that serving? Is it kilojoules per each? Or calories the whole lot?

I struggle alot to sleep due to pregnancy so i was browsing and came across your recipe. I started making it at 3 am XD The best decision i ever made! They are totally amazing, i made 46 and took them to church with me, people were to absolute awe and just couldn't get enough. Thank you so much for sharing. Only thing i didn't use was the 30g of icing sugar on the pastry as tbh you didn't mention what to do with it so i played it safe and just made an ordinary pastry. LOVE IT

Hi Khadeja - you stir in the sugar after rubbing the butter into the flour :) I'm so glad you and everyone enjoyed them!
