Indulge in the rich and decadent flavors of a homemade chocolate chip pie! Follow this easy recipe to create a delicious dessert from scratch.

Combining two desserts into one is always a good idea. A flaky pie crust shell filled with a chewy chocolate chip cookie is an unexpected combo that we all fell hard for. Especially when served with some freshly whipped cream. This is such a fun birthday treat or Sunday night dinner special for that sweet tooth.

Ingredients

For this delicious dessert pie you will need:

9-Inch Unbaked Pie Crust. You can use my homemade flaky pie crust recipe, my all-butter pie crust recipe, OR use a store-bought pie crust to make this quick and easy!
Salted Butter. The butter just needs to be melted. I prefer to use salted while baking to balance out the sweetness and bring out all of the other ingredients' flavor profiles. While I use salted butter you could unsalted butter and increase the salt by ¼ teaspoon.
Granulated Sugar. The granulated sugar helps the cookie dough taste sweet and have that lovely brown color.
Light Brown Sugar. The brown sugar provides sweetness, and warmth from the molasses in the sugar, and helps create a chewy cookie dough.
Large Eggs. The eggs need to be at room temperature so that they can properly incorporate into the rest of the ingredients.
Pure Vanilla Extract. The vanilla gives the cookie dough that quintessential chocolate chip cookie flavor.
Baking Soda. This chemical leavening agent helps the cookie dough rise and brown while baking.
Salt. The salt brings out the flavor profiles of all of the other ingredients.
All Purpose Flour. I always suggest weighing your ingredients especially flour, too much or too little can drastically alter the cookie dough.
Chocolate Chips. The star of the show! Use good quality chocolate. I use Callebaut Milk Chocolate Callets and Callebaut Chocolate Callets. I love a combination of milk chocolate chips with either semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.

Adding some chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough would be an excellent idea for the nut lover!

We like to serve this chocolate chip cookie pie with homemade whipped cream but a scoop of vanilla ice cream would be delicious!

Instructions

Now if you are using store-bought pie dough make sure to thaw it if it is frozen. Roll out the pie dough, I use a Silpat worksurface, fill your pie dish with the pastry, add a fluted edge, or use the tongs of a fork to add a simple design. Prick the crust with a fork, and then place it in the freezer to chill for 20 minutes while your oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 375°F/191C. Chilling the pie crust helps it so that the pastry doesn't shrink when it bakes. Once it has been 20 minutes, cover the pie shell with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried rice. Bake for 15 minutes to just set the pie crust. Remove from the oven, and remove the parchment paper and pie weights, and set aside while you prepare the cookie dough. Reduce the oven temperature to 325F/163C.

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar, until fully combined. Next add in the whole egg, egg, yolk, and vanilla extract, and mix for a minute or two until lightened in color.

Add the all-purpose, flour, baking soda, and salt and fold with a spatula until just almost combined, and then mix in the chocolate chips. Do not over mix you just want the chocolate chips evenly dispersed.

Add the chocolate chip cookie dough into the par-baked pie shell and spread into an even layer then add some additional chocolate chips on top if desired. Use a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil to gently cover the edges of the pie crust for the first 30 minutes of baking, and bake the pie for 40 to 50 minutes.

Let the pie cool to room temperature on a wire rack, the warmer it is the messier the slices will be.

Tips for Success

Use good quality ingredients for the best-tasting cookie dough.
Use homemade pie crust for the best flavor.
Use room temperature ingredients.
Par-bake the pie crust to prevent a soggy bottom.
Let the cookie pie cool.

Baking is a science and to really achieve the best results I highly recommend investing in a kitchen scale. This OXO Kitchen Scale is the one I use and is also the number one recommended kitchen scale by Cook's Illustrated. Think about it -what one person scoops into a "cup" is completely different from what someone else scoops!

You can freeze this pie, wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap, twice then store them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw slices on the counter at room temperature for a few hours then pop in the oven at 300F for 5-10 minutes to warm through.
