- Place 1/2 of the dough into the prepared pan. Make sure it's covering the entire bottom of it.
- Take spoonfuls of Nutella and drop it on top. It won’t be a smooth layer but should cover most of the dough. Take the remaining cookie dough and press it on top. It's also okay if there is Nutella peeping through! See photos above for reference.2/3 cups Nutella
- Bake an additional 20-25 minutes. The edges will be a golden brown. Cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
