How to Prepare Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

This cookie pie comes together in a few simple steps: mixing the dough, filling the pie dish, baking until golden, and allowing it to cool slightly before slicing.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Dish

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

  2. Grease a 9-inch pie dish generously with butter or nonstick spray.

  3. Set the prepared dish aside.

Using a well-greased dish ensures the cookie pie releases easily after baking.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.

  2. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.

The mixture should look thick, smooth, and slightly creamy.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  2. Mix until evenly combined.

This step ensures the leavening and salt are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 4: Make the Cookie Dough

  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

  2. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.

  3. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cookie pie dense.

The dough will be thick and sticky, similar to traditional cookie dough.

Step 5: Add the Chocolate Chips

  1. Fold the chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.

  2. If using nuts or additional chips, fold them in at this stage.

Make sure the chocolate is spread evenly for consistent bites.

Step 6: Fill the Pie Dish

  1. Spoon the cookie dough into the prepared pie dish.

  2. Spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

  3. Smooth the top gently.

For extra presentation, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top before baking.

Step 7: Bake the Cookie Pie

  1. Place the pie dish in the center of the preheated oven.

  2. Bake for 35–45 minutes.

  3. The edges should be golden brown, while the center should still look slightly soft.

If the top begins browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 10 minutes.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

  1. Remove the cookie pie from the oven.

  2. Allow it to cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing.

The cookie pie will continue to set as it cools, but the center will remain soft and gooey.

Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

1. Do not overbake

A slightly underbaked center creates the best gooey texture.

2. Use room-temperature eggs

They blend more easily into the batter and improve texture.

3. Measure flour accurately

Too much flour can make the pie dry.

4. Let it cool before slicing

This helps the slices hold their shape.

5. Use good-quality chocolate

Better chocolate means better flavor.

Texture Guide: How to Customize the Bake

  • Gooey center: Bake 35–38 minutes

  • Soft and chewy: Bake 40–42 minutes

  • Firm and sliceable: Bake 43–45 minutes

Everyone prefers cookie pie differently, so adjust baking time to your liking.

Add red and green chocolate candies or white chocolate chips.
