Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie Recipe

Featured in Reliable Dessert Recipes.

This chocolate chip cookie pie brilliantly combines two beloved desserts into one irresistible treat. The recipe takes a classic pie crust and fills it with a rich cookie dough batter that bakes into a gooey, chocolate-studded center. What makes this pie special is its varied textures - a crisp, flaky crust contrasting with the soft, cookie-like filling loaded with melty chocolate chips. The careful baking temperature and time ensure the perfect consistency - set around the edges while maintaining that coveted gooey center. Whether using a metal or ceramic pan, the detailed par-baking instructions help achieve the ideal crust texture. It's an impressive dessert that's actually simple to make and can be customized with nuts for added crunch.

Detailed Baking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Base
Blind bake crust if using ceramic dish. Cool crust completely before filling. Ensure edges are properly crimped. Shield edges with foil if browning too fast.
Step 2: Create Your Filling
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Mix in dry ingredients gently. Fold in chips last.
Step 3: Perfect the Bake
Fill crust carefully to avoid spillover. Place on preheated baking sheet. Watch for golden brown top. Test center with thermometer.
Step 4: Master the Cool
Let cool on rack completely. Wait for filling to set fully. Cut with sharp knife. Clean blade between cuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why do I need to par-bake the crust in a ceramic pan?
Ceramic heats more slowly than metal, so par-baking ensures the bottom crust cooks properly and doesn't become soggy.
→ How do I know when the pie is done?
The top should be golden brown, edges set, and middle slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted between center and edge should have a few moist crumbs.
→ Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! The pie can be made 1-2 days ahead and stored at room temperature. Warm slightly before serving for the best gooey texture.
→ Can I use store-bought pie crust?
Absolutely! Both homemade and store-bought crusts work well. Just follow the par-baking instructions if using a ceramic pan.
→ Why does the center need to be jiggly?
Like cookies, the center continues cooking as it cools. A slightly jiggly center ensures a gooey, not overcooked, final texture.

Ingredients

→ Crust

01 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

→ Filling

02 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
03 1/3 cup granulated sugar
04 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
05 2 large eggs
06 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
08 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
09 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
11 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

Step 01

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimp the edges, and set aside. (PAR-BAKE the crust if using ceramic pan).

Step 02

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 03

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Step 04

Gently stir in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).

Step 05

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the sides are set, and the middle is slightly jiggly.

Step 06

Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce!

Notes

  1. For metal pans, parbaking is optional but recommended for crispier crust
  2. For ceramic pans, parbaking is necessary for even cooking
  3. Pie is done when toothpick inserted between center and edge comes out mostly clean
