How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Before You Begin

Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.


1. Preheat the Oven

Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar

Beat softened butter until smooth. Add both sugars and cream until light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.

5. Combine Mixtures

Fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Stir until just combined.

6. Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in the chocolate chips.

7. Bake

Spread batter into the pie dish.
Bake 30–35 minutes, until edges are golden and the center is soft.

8. Cool Before Serving

Let cool 20–30 minutes for clean slicing and a gooey center.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use room-temperature butter for smoother creaming
  • Don’t overmix—stir only until combined
  • Pull pie from the oven while the middle is slightly soft
  • Sea salt on top enhances flavor
  • A mix of chocolate types adds depth

Variations

  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Use milk, dark, or white chocolate chips
  • Drizzle warm caramel over slices
  • Add flaky sea salt before baking

Storage, Freezing & Reheating

Room Temperature:
Store covered up to 3 days.

Refrigerator:
Keeps up to 1 week.

Freeze:
Wrap slices tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheat:
Warm slices in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or microwave for 10–15 seconds.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Overbaking the pie
    Baking until the center looks fully set will dry out the cookie pie. The middle should look slightly soft when you remove it from the oven—it will continue to firm up as it cools.
  • Overmixing the batter
    Stirring too much after adding the flour can make the texture dense instead of soft and chewy. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Using cold butter
    Butter that isn’t softened won’t cream properly with the sugar, leading to uneven texture. Let the butter sit at room temperature before mixing.
  • Skipping the cooling time
    Cutting the pie too soon can cause it to fall apart and lose its gooey center. Allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
  • Packing flour into the measuring cup
    Scooping flour directly from the bag can add too much flour and make the pie dry. Spoon flour into the cup and level it off.
  • Baking in a dark or oversized dish without adjusting time
    Dark pans can cause faster browning, and larger dishes spread the batter too thin. Use a standard 9-inch pie dish for best results.

FAQ

1. What makes this different from regular cookies?
Instead of individual cookies, everything bakes into one large cookie with crisp edges and a soft, gooey center. Each slice gives you the perfect balance of textures.

2. Can I use different chocolates?
Absolutely. Milk chocolate adds sweetness, dark chocolate adds richness, and white chocolate offers contrast. A mix creates a bakery-style flavor.

3. Do I need to chill the dough?
No chilling needed. This pie is meant to be baked as soon as the batter is mixed.

4. Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. Bake the pie the day before and store it covered at room temperature.

5. Why did my pie turn out dense?
Usually from cold butter or overmixing. Cream butter fully and stir the batter gently.

6. Should I use a pie crust?
No crust needed—this is more like a giant cookie baked directly in a pie dish.

7. How do I keep the edges from drying out?
Bake just until the outer edge is set and the center is soft. Overbaking removes moisture.

8. Can I double the recipe?
Yes. Use two 9-inch dishes or one deep 12-inch dish.

9. Can I bake it in a skillet?
Yes. A cast-iron skillet creates crisp edges and a rustic presentation.

10. What should I serve it with?
Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, warm caramel, or melted chocolate.


Conclusion

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie is the kind of dessert that feels warm, familiar, and instantly comforting. It brings together everything people love about homemade cookies but bakes into a simple, shareable pie that never fails to impress. With a soft center, crisp edges, and plenty of melted chocolate, it’s the perfect treat for celebrations, family nights, or anytime you want a cozy homemade dessert without extra effort.
