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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

FAQ
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. You can bake the pie a day or two ahead and store tightly wrapped at room temperature or in the fridge. When ready to serve, warm individual slices in the microwave or enjoy at room temp.
What kind of pie crust works best?
You can use a homemade pie crust or a store-bought refrigerated crust. Just make sure it is unbaked when filled. A buttery, slightly sweet crust complements the cookie filling nicely.
Can I use gluten-free flour?
Yes. Use a gluten-free 1 to 1 replacement flour. It should work just fine here since the filling is very forgiving. The texture may be slightly different but still delicious.
