Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie



Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie




Was making this pie Sunday morning as a test for an Easter dessert and had to share the recipe. It's so-oo easy and really good!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Ingredients
o    1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie pastry
o    2 large eggs
o    1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
o    1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
o    1⁄2 cup brown sugar, packed
o    3⁄4 cup butter, softened
o    1 cup Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips
o    1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions
1.       Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2.       Beat eggs in large mixer bowl on high speed until foamy and     pale in color. Beat in flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in butter until combined.
3.       Stir in morsels and nuts. Spoon into pie shell. The mixture will be thick.
4.       Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between edge and center comes out clean. You may want to make a foil tent over the pie towards the end so the crust doesn't brown too much. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.


The weather is beautiful today... 55 F and sunny!  Just came back from running errands and with all the flowers blooming, it really does look like Spring (except for the bit of chill in the air). However, I do still have a  "Merry Christmas" sign on our front door. Don't have one for Spring or Easter yet, so I hate to take it down and leave the space bare.  But I will keep looking...

If you look closely, you can see me taking the picture in the reflection... also look close again (over my shoulder) and you can see DH removing groceries from the car.

  1. Hmmm....that sounds like a wonderful dessert for Easter. I picked up the ham today and will make scalloped potatoes - family tradition.

    Have a great week!

  3. Neat! And I see Tux checking you out on the other side of the glass. Happy Spring! I don't think I would be able to resist that pie, so I'll just eat it with my eyes. :-)

    1. Tux is almost always in that window. When we're gone, I think he waits for us to come home there... and he's right there to greet us when we open the door.
