How to Make the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

If you’ve never tried a chocolate chip cookie pie, you’re seriously missing out on one of the most irresistible dessert mash-ups ever created. Imagine the gooey warmth of a fresh-baked cookie wrapped inside a buttery pie crust—yes, it’s as dreamy as it sounds. Keep reading to discover how this crowd-pleasing treat can be the star of your next gathering (or secret late-night indulgence!).

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 1 cup unsalted butter melted
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

• 9-inch pie pan
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Cooling rack
• Oven

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Gently press the unbaked pie crust into your pie pan and crimp the edges. I love using my knuckles to flute the edge for a homemade look. Set aside.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. The melted butter helps dissolve the sugars and gives a caramel-like richness to the pie’s filling.
3. Step 3: Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture becomes thick and glossy. This means the eggs are emulsifying with the butter and sugar for a silky texture.
4. Step 4: Stir in the salt and flour. Be gentle and mix just until combined. Overmixing can create toughness in the center instead of that dreamy chewy bite you want.
5. Step 5: Fold in the chocolate chips. I like to mix about three quarters into the batter and sprinkle the rest on top before baking for that bakery-style finish.
6. Step 6: Pour the batter into your prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Make sure the chocolate is evenly spread throughout so every slice has melty goodness.
7. Step 7: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The crust edges should be golden and the top set with a slight jiggle in the middle. That jiggle firms as it cools into a gooey cookie center.
8. Step 8: Let the pie cool on a rack for at least 1 hour before cutting. This part is tough but trust me. Hot from the oven, it will fall apart in a sweet mess. If you want neat slices, let it rest.
9. Step 9: Slice and enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or serve at room temperature for a delightfully chewy texture all the way through.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serve chocolate chip cookie pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience. If you prefer a firmer texture, allow it to cool completely before slicing.

To store, cover the pie tightly and keep it at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to five days. For best flavor and texture, gently reheat slices in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds before serving. You can also freeze the fully baked and cooled pie for up to three months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil for best results. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating or serving.

Nutrition per serving

For a nutty twist, try folding in half a cup of chopped toasted pecans or walnuts. You can also sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking to balance the sweetness.
