How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Ingredients
- Unbaked pie crust
- Eggs
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Unsalted butter (softened)
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
- Semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Fit the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as you like.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and beat until light and slightly foamy.
- Mix in the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until everything is well combined.
- Add the softened butter and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the chocolate chip mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth the surface gently.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are set. The center can still be slightly soft.
- If the edges of the crust brown too fast, cover them loosely with aluminum foil during the last part of baking.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
