Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie Recipe

Introduction

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie combines the best of both worlds: a buttery shortbread crust and a gooey chocolate chip cookie filling. It’s an easy-to-make dessert that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends, promising rich flavors and a comforting texture.

A slice of dessert pie with three visible layers is on a white plate: the bottom crust is golden and crumbly, the middle layer is dark and gooey chocolate, and the top layer is a thick, light brown cookie dough with a slightly cracked texture. On top sits a dollop of white whipped cream with a smooth, fluffy texture. In the blurred foreground, another slice of the same pie with whipped cream is on a white plate. The setting has a white marbled textured surface and a soft, neutral background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (for crust)
  • 2 cups flour (for crust)
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (for filling)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour (for filling)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Make the shortbread pie crust by beating 2 sticks of butter until fluffy, then adding in the confectioners sugar and mixing well.
  2. Step 2: Add 2 cups of flour, vanilla extract, and baking powder to the butter mixture, mixing lightly until the dough becomes crumbly.
  3. Step 3: Press the dough evenly into a 9- or 10-inch pie dish, making sure to go up the sides to form the crust.
  4. Step 4: Bake the crust in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.
  5. Step 5: For the filling, beat 1 1/2 sticks of butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until light and fluffy.
  6. Step 6: Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt to the butter and sugar mixture, continuing to beat thoroughly.
  7. Step 7: Slowly add in 1 cup of flour, mixing on low speed to combine.
  8. Step 8: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  9. Step 9: Pour the chocolate chip cookie filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  10. Step 10: Bake the pie in a 325°F oven for 40 to 50 minutes, watching carefully so it turns golden brown but remains gooey inside.

Tips & Variations

  • For an extra rich crust, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Try using a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips for varied chocolate flavor.
  • Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the filling for added texture.
  • If you prefer a less sweet crust, reduce the confectioners sugar slightly.

Storage

Store leftover pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. To reheat, warm slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to restore the gooey texture.

How to Serve

The pie slice has three visible layers: a thick, light golden crust at the bottom with a smooth texture; a dark, rich chocolate-like layer in the middle; and a crumbly, golden brown top layer. A dollop of fluffy white whipped cream sits on top of the pie slice, slightly off-center. The background is softly blurred, hinting at another similar slice on a plate behind it.

FAQs

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

Yes, but reduce or omit any additional salt in the recipe to avoid the pie becoming too salty.

How do I know when the pie is done baking?

The pie should be golden brown on top and set along the edges but still a bit gooey in the center. Avoid overbaking to keep that soft, pie-like texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Shortbread Pie Crust

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie Filling

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Shortbread Pie Crust: Begin by beating the butter until it’s fluffy. Then, add the confectioners sugar and continue to mix well to combine.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture and lightly mix. Next, incorporate the vanilla extract and baking powder, stirring until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  3. Form Crust: Press the crumbly mixture evenly into a 9- or 10-inch pie dish, pressing it up the sides to form a neat crust.
  4. Bake Crust: Place the pie crust in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely before filling.
  5. Make Cookie Pie Filling: Beat the butter with brown sugar and white sugar in a blender or mixer until light and fluffy.
  6. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and salt, mixing to combine.
  7. Mix Dry Ingredients & Chocolate Chips: Slowly add the flour while blending on low speed. Once combined, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
  8. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the cookie batter evenly into the pre-baked shortbread crust, spreading gently with a spatula if needed.
  9. Bake Pie: Bake the filled pie in an oven preheated to 325°F (163°C) for 40 to 50 minutes. Watch carefully to ensure the top is golden brown but the interior remains gooey and pie-like rather than fully set like a cookie.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool before slicing to ensure clean cuts and the filling sets slightly. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the butter for both crust and filling is at room temperature for proper mixing and texture.
  • Do not over-bake the pie filling; it should stay gooey and soft inside, similar to a pudding or custard consistency.
  • Using a 9- or 10-inch pie dish will work equally well; adjust baking times if needed.
  • For extra texture, you can add chopped nuts to the filling if desired.
  • This pie is best served slightly warm or at room temperature.
