Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Cookie Pie
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips

The Art of Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
The key to a perfect cookie pie is balancing a soft, chewy center with slightly crisp edges. Creaming the butter and sugars adds air and tenderness, while the baking time determines texture. Chocolate chips scattered throughout melt into pockets of rich goodness, and a light sprinkle of sea salt on top enhances sweetness.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
Set aside.
2. Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
3. Add Egg & Vanilla
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Wet & Dry
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Spread in Pie Dish
Spread the cookie dough evenly into a greased 9-inch pie dish.
7. Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but still soft.
8. Cool & Serve
Let the cookie pie cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Tips for Best Results
- Don’t overbake if you prefer a gooey center — remove when the center looks just set.
- Use room-temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
- Sprinkle a pinch of coarse sea salt on top to enhance the flavor.
- Add nuts for extra crunch if desired.
Creative Variations
- Double Chocolate: replace ½ cup flour with cocoa powder and add extra chocolate chips.
- Peanut Butter Swirl: swirl in peanut butter before baking.
- Caramel Drizzle: add caramel sauce on top after baking.
- Mint Chocolate: add mint extract and mint chocolate chips.
- Cookie Dough Bars: bake in a square pan for bar slices.
