Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F and coat a cast iron skillet with a light layer of nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugars using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Step 4
Scrape down the bowl and mix in the vanilla and eggs.
Step 5
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients. The dough will get pretty thick.
Step 6
Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in 1 1/4 cups of the chocolate chips by hand.
Step 7
Press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the cast iron skillet. If it’s sticking to your hands, spray your fingers with some nonstick spray.
Step 8
Spread the Nutella over top, leaving a 1/2 inch gap around the edge.
Step 9
Take large chunks of the cookie dough and gently flatten them with your hands. Lay them on top of the Nutella layer then press the seams together to create a smooth top.
Step 10
Sprinkle on the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
Step 11
Bake for 25-30 minutes for a more gooey cookie and 30-38 for a more well-done cookie. I baked mine for about 28 minutes.
Step 12
If you’d like to just dig in with your spoon, enjoy when it’s warm from the oven. For a cookie you can slice into like a pie, let it cool to room temperature.

Chef's notes
The recipe can be made using a 9-inch pie pan if a cast iron skillet is not available.
For a nut-free version, chocolate SunButter can be used instead of Nutella.
Use nonstick spray on your hands to prevent the dough from sticking when pressing it into the skillet.
