- Spoon the Nutella over the cookie dough, spreading it gently but evenly.
- Add the remaining cookie dough over the Nutella layer, using your fingers to stretch it out and cover as much as possible.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
