    Substitutions

    • Nutella Substitute: If you don't have Nutella, try using a jar of chocolate spread or even cream cheese mixed with a bit of sugar for a different taste.
    • Oreo Cookie Variation: Instead of pie crust, use an Oreo cookie crust. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor, mix with melted unsalted butter, and use this mixture as your base.
    • Healthier Option: Use whole wheat pie dough for added fiber and nutrition.
    • Alternative Crusts: Try using a puff pastry or pie dough for different textures and flavors.

    Variations

    • Add Nuts: To add some crunch, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over the Nutella before adding the top pie crust.
    • Flavor Enhancements: Mix a pinch of salt or a dash of vanilla into the sugar before rolling the cookies in it. It adds a nice touch.
    • Make it Fancy: Instead of simple cookies, make Nutella hand pies by cutting the pie dough into 2-inch circles, adding a spoonful of Nutella, and folding them over. Crimp the edges with a fork, brush with cold butter, and bake until golden brown.
    • Decorative Touches: After baking, pipe some whipped cream or drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies for a pretty garnish.

    Storage

    • If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), you can store these Nutella Pie Crust cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
    • For longer storage, place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or warm them slightly in the oven.

    Top Tips

    • If you love gift-giving, you can bake dozens and wrap them in decorative bags to give as gifts. It is also best to include all flavors in each gift bag.
    • Sift your granulated sugar to avoid having the sugar lumps in your Nutella Pie Crust piece.
    • If your pie crust dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.

    Spread the second pie crust on top as this will "seal" the piece:

      Unfortunately, 450 degrees at 10 minutes burnt the cookies. 😢

        I also did the 450 mistake, after scrolling down to read comments, trying to figure out what I did wrong when they came out burnt 🙁 Is it possible to edit the recipe?
