Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the buttery mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
- Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough into the prepared pie dish, pressing it evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing it into generous pieces for serving!
Best ways to enjoy it
This chocolate chip cookie pie is delicious on its own, but if you want to elevate the experience, consider serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Drizzling chocolate or caramel sauce adds an extra layer of indulgence. You could also serve it with fresh whipped cream or a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
How to store
To store any leftovers (if there are any!), keep the pie covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep it fresh longer, refrigerate it for up to a week or wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy a slice, thaw it in the refrigerator or at room temperature, then reheat in the oven or microwave.
Helpful cooking tips
- Make sure your butter is softened but not melted; this creates the perfect texture when creaming the ingredients together.
- Don’t skip the cooling step! Letting the pie cool completely helps it set properly, making it easier to slice.
- If you prefer a thicker crust, you can increase the dough by about 25% and use a deeper pie dish.
Creative twists
Feel free to get creative with variations! Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch, or mix in dried fruit for a unique flavor profile. You can even swap the chocolate chips for different types, such as peanut butter chips or toffee bits for an exciting twist.
