Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Pies

• FOR THE NUTELLA FILLING:
• 12 teaspoons Nutella
• FOR THE PASTRY:
• 1 cup Plain Or All Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cups Unsalted Butter, Cubed
• 1/4 cups Icing Or Powdered Sugar
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 teaspoon Cold Water
• FOR THE COOKIE:
• 2 cups Plain/All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Cornflour Or Cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter
• 1/2 cups Caster Or Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 cups Light Brown Sugar
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Chocolate Chips

1. For the Nutella filling:
2. Place Nutella onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid, about 1 hour.
3. For the pastry:
4. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add butter and, using your fingertips, rub into flour until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in sugar.
5. In a small jug, or mug, lightly beat egg yolk with vanilla extract and water. Add to flour mixture and mix in using a knife. Gather together to make a soft dough.
6. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes before use.
7. Preheat oven to 180u0b0C (350u0b0F or Gas 4), and grease a 12-hole muffin pan. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry and, using a pastry or cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles or fluted circles. Press into prepared pan. You may need to re-roll the pastry to get 12 circles.
8. For the cookie:
9. Whisk together flour, baking powder, cornflour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
10. Microwave butter for 1 minute, until mostly melted. Whisk in sugars until combined. Add egg and vanilla, mix until combined. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
11. Place a teaspoon of the frozen Nutella onto the centre of each pie crust, then press 1-ounce balls of cookie dough on top. Sprinkle with extra chocolate chips if desired. Bake 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack.
12. You may have some cookie dough left over. If so, just roll into 2-ounce balls and bake for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy!
