Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie crust
Cookie Pie Filling
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for even baking of the cookie pie.
- Beat Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy to incorporate air which helps create a light texture in the filling.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the eggs and mix until well combined, ensuring an even distribution of sweetness and structure.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, providing richness and flavor depth.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the chopped nuts if using, to evenly distribute throughout the batter.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the batter into the unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie crust and smooth the top for even baking and a pleasing appearance.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still soft, testing doneness with a toothpick if needed.
- Cool: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes to let it set fully and ensure clean slicing.
- Serve: Slice and serve the cookie pie warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- If the pie crust edges brown too quickly during baking, cover them halfway through with foil to prevent burning.
- This recipe can be made nut-free by omitting the walnuts or pecans.
- The pie sets and firms up more as it cools, making it easier to slice and serving best slightly warm or at room temperature.
