Ingredients

• 200g salted butter, softened
• 250g light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 320g plain flour
• 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 200g chocolate chips
• 50g additional chocolate chips, for topping
• 150g Nutella
• 8 Kinder Bueno sticks, broken into pieces
• 150g hazelnut cream spread

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, or 160°C fan.
2. Grease and line the base of an 8-inch springform tin with parchment paper.
3. Place the softened butter and light brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
4. Beat until creamy and evenly combined.
5. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
6. Sift in the plain flour and bicarbonate of soda.
7. Mix until a soft, thick cookie dough forms.
8. Fold the 200g chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
9. Press approximately half of the cookie dough into the base and around the sides of the prepared tin.
10. Shape the dough into an even shell, making sure there are no thin gaps around the edges.
11. Spread the Nutella evenly across the base, leaving a small border around the edge.
12. Break the Kinder Bueno sticks into pieces and arrange them over the Nutella.
13. Spoon the hazelnut cream spread over the Kinder Bueno pieces and spread it gently.
14. Flatten portions of the remaining cookie dough between your hands.
15. Lay the flattened dough over the filling until the surface is covered.
16. Press the edges of the top and bottom dough together to seal the filling inside.
17. Sprinkle the additional chocolate chips over the top.
18. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are set.
19. Remove the tin from the oven and leave the cookie pie to cool completely in the tin.
20. Once fully cooled, release the springform tin and transfer the cookie pie to a serving plate.
21. Slice with a sharp knife and serve at room temperature, or warm individual slices briefly before serving.
