As my recipe for Nutella cookies was such a hit, I thought I'd try making a giant double layer cookie filled with Nutella. Sounds good? It absolutely was! Serve with a generous scoop of ice cream - enjoy!
Why doesn't love a giant chocolate cookie with a rich Nutella filling!
This is a perfect sharing dessert - or not!
It's great that this giant cookie doesn't take long to make.
Top tips for a big chocolate & Nutella cookie
- Make the dough ahead - (at least 30 minutes or this allows the flavour to develop and gives a wonderful texture to your cookies.
- Chill the dough - the dough will be easier to handle when chilled and this will keep them from spreading too much during baking.
How to make it
- When you are ready to make the cookie, divide the dough into 2 parts.
- Cook's tip: If cooking immediately, and the dough is still a bit sticky, add a couple of more tablespoons of flour till it is smooth.
- Press one half down to cover the base of a skillet and spread a layer of Nutella over it.
- Then, on parchment paper, roll out the other half of the cookie dough till it is a similar size to the first and place over the layer of Nutella.
- Bake, cool and serve.
To Serve
Enjoy with a big scoop of ice cream or a glass of cold milk.
