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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Make Cookie Pie Filling: Beat the butter with brown sugar and white sugar in a blender or mixer until light and fluffy.
- 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients & Chocolate Chips: Slowly add the flour while blending on low speed. Once combined, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the cookie batter evenly into the pre-baked shortbread crust, spreading gently with a spatula if needed.
- 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.
- 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.
