Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Ingredients
-
For the cookie pie:
-
1 cup (2 sticks / 226g) unsalted butter, softened
-
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
-
3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
-
Optional for serving:
-
Vanilla ice cream
-
Whipped cream
-
Chocolate drizzle
-
Instructions
1. Preheat and prepare pan
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter and sugars
-
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Tip: Don’t skip this step—it gives your cookie pie a nice soft texture.
3. Add eggs and vanilla
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
-
Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine dry ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Do not overmix; overmixing can make the cookie pie tough.
5. Add chocolate chips
-
Fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips evenly with a spatula.
Optional: You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans here if desired.
6. Transfer to pie pan
-
Scoop the cookie dough into the prepared pie pan.
-
Press it gently with a spatula to form an even layer, making sure the edges are slightly higher than the center—it will spread during baking.
7. Bake
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set.
Tip: The center may look slightly soft; it will firm up as it cools.
8. Cool and serve
-
Allow the cookie pie to cool in the pan for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or chocolate drizzle if desired.
Extra Tips
-
For a fudgier pie, slightly underbake (remove 2–3 minutes early).
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days.
-
This recipe also works in a 9×9-inch square pan if you don’t have a pie pan.
