Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie Recipe
Ingredients
-
For the Cookie Pie:
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
-
Optional Topping:
-
Sea salt flakes
-
Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
-
Directions
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9-inch pie pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer).
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Mix in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4. Make the Cookie Dough
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing—it keeps the cookie soft.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
5. Shape in the Pan
-
Scoop the cookie dough into the prepared pie pan.
-
Spread it evenly with a spatula or your hands, pressing gently so it fills the pan.
6. Bake
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center looks slightly soft (it will firm up as it cools).
-
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
7. Cool and Serve
-
Let the cookie pie cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes.
-
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
-
For an extra treat, top with vanilla ice cream before serving.
Tips for Best Results
-
Soft Butter: Make sure your butter is soft, not melted, for the perfect texture.
-
Chewy vs. Soft: Bake closer to 25 minutes for a soft center, or 30 for a more set texture.
-
Mix-ins: You can also add nuts, white chocolate, or caramel bits if you like.
