This Nutella Stuffed Skillet Cookie is a deep dish chocolate chip cookie that is stuffed with Nutella and baked in a cast-iron skillet. The edges are crunchy and the center is warm and gooey. It is a great skillet dessert to share or an indulgent single serving!
This is the most delicious an simple cookie pie recipe. You mix all the ingredients together, no chilling required, and stuff it all into a cast-iron skillet with some Nutella in the middle. You don't have to roll out individual cookies, you just serve the whole thing nice and warm straight from the oven, preferably with ice cream on top! If you want to make it even more simple you can skip the Nutella and make my Deep Dish Cookie!

Ingredients for Nutella Skillet Cookie:
- Measuring the all-purpose flour. correctly is very important. I suggest weighing your flour out. If you want to use a measuring cup, make sure you spoon the flour into the cup and level it off with a knife. Don’t use the cup to scoop directly from the flour.
- I used semi-sweet chocolate, but you can use whatever you like best. If you're wanting puddles of chocolate chop up a chocolate bar instead of using chocolate chips. You can find the same puddles of chocolate in my Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Scones.
- Nutella will go in the center of the skillet cookie. I also use Nutella in my Coffee Nutella Macarons.
See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Step-By-Step Instructions
STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). If you're using a cast-iron skillet you shouldn't need to do anything to make it non-stick If you don't have a cast-iron skillet you can just use a small baking dish for the same effect. Either one needs to be 6.5 inches and you will need to spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.
STEP 2: In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until free of lumps.
STEP 3: In another medium bowl beat the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla until soft and creamy. Add egg and beat well.
STEP 4: Add flour mixture in two additions, mixing until just combined after each. Fold in the chocolate chips. If you love cookie dough you should check out my Edible Cookie Dough Recipe.
STEP 5: Press half of the dough into the bottom of the skillet, pressing more in the center to make a divot, fill it with the Nutella. Use the rest of the dough to cover the top.
STEP 6: Place the skillet cookie in the oven with a cookie sheet underneath it to catch any that might spill over.
STEP 7: Bake for about 30-35 minutes for a doughy center, 5-10 minutes longer if you would like your cookie to be more done in the center.
Expert Baking Tips
- Add chunks of chocolate on top before baking. This will give you those incredible puddles of chocolate on top of the deep dish cookie.
- Use an oven thermometer. Most ovens run either hot or cold. Using an oven thermometer ensures that you are baking your cookie at the perfect temperature.
- Weigh your ingredients. One of the most common baking mistakes that I see is measuring incorrectly, especially with flour. The best way to get accurate measurements every time is to weigh them with a kitchen scale.
- Don't over mix. You need to mix your batter until all of the ingredients are JUST combined, otherwise, you will make too much gluten and your cookie will be tough instead of tender.
Recipe FAQs
This cookie is best served warm, about 5-10 minutes out of the oven. You can serve the skillet cookie with spoons and allow people to share or cut the cookie into slices, like a pie. I also highly recommend adding scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.
I don't recommend baking the cookie ahead of time, as it is best served warm, but you can make the dough ahead of time and bake it when you are ready to serve.
Room Temperature: The Nutella Stuffed Skillet Cookie can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.
Refrigerator: If stored correctly in an airtight container the cookie will last up to 1 week in the fridge.
