Description
This Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie combines the best of both worlds: a classic cookie’s gooey, buttery charm baked inside a flaky pie crust. Perfectly sweet and loaded with chocolate chips, this dessert is easy to prepare and makes a delightful treat for sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (Marie Callender frozen deep-dish crust recommended)
Cookie Pie Filling
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup real butter, softened
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (milk chocolate baking chips preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 325 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the ideal temperature when you are ready to bake.
- Beat Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for about 1 minute until they become foamy, which helps incorporate air for a light texture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients and Sugars: Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar into the eggs.
- Add Butter and Chocolate Chips: Mix in the softened butter until just combined. Then stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Fill Pie Crust: Carefully spoon the cookie dough batter into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it out evenly so it bakes uniformly.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 55 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a knife halfway between the center and edge; it should come out clean when ready.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes up to an hour to set before slicing. For extra indulgence, serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or both.
Notes
- Using a deep-dish frozen pie crust helps achieve a perfect flaky base that holds the cookie filling well.
- Check doneness carefully to avoid overbaking, which can dry out the cookie pie.
- Feel free to substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate depending on your preference.
- Allowing the pie to cool fully improves slicing and texture.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
