The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie Recipe Ever

This is the most delicious, warm, and gooey chocolate chip cookie pie recipe, with a shortbread cookie crust! This chocolate chip cookie pie is one of my favorite pies and desserts of all time and every bite tastes better than any old cookie by itself.

If you love cookies as much as we do, especially our oatmeal chocolate cookies and butterless chocolate chip cookies, then this delicious dessert is for you!

I tried my first chocolate chip cookie pie when we were in Knoxville, Tennessee visiting for work. Not surprisingly, I actually really liked Knoxville! It felt warm and comfortable there and I truly adore the southern hospitality. 

And they have chocolate chip cookie pie, which is the best on the planet. I was inspired to make my own cookie pie recipe with a cookie shortbread crust and it turned out incredible! It’s gooey, chocolatey, buttery and every bite is pure cookie heaven! 

I can’t get over how gorgeous the pie is when it’s fresh out of the oven. Not only does the house smell like a cookie factory, but the pie looks like it’s out of a magazine! It’s beautiful! It has a gooey cookie texture and chocolate chip cookie flavor. The pie has a creamy richness of a brown sugar base and chocolate layer from the chocolate chips.

How to Make a Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Supplies

To make this pie you’ll need a few supplies:

• Pie Dish – We use a deep dish ceramic pie pan. 

• Rolling Pin – To roll the pie crust.

• Measuring Spoons and Cups

• Mixing Bowls

• Electric Mixer and Paddle Attachment

Shortbread Pie Crust

Follow our recipe for the best shortbread cookie pie crust! It’s easy to make and pairs perfectly with our chocolate chip cookie pie recipe.

Roll or press into a pie dish, up the sides and make a nice crust, and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes. 

Let the crust cool before adding the filling. You can make homemade pie crust or you can use a premade pie shell from the grocery store. We recommend a deep-dish pie crust.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie Filling

Ingredients

This recipe uses simple ingredients that can be purchased at your local grocery store. Here is a list of all of the ingredients you need to make this pie:

• Unsalted Butter – Organic, whole butter is best for baking. The butter should be room temperature and soft.

• Brown Sugar – Light brown sugar for this recipe to sweeten the pie. You can also use dark brown sugar.

• Granulated Sugar – We use C&H Sugar for this recipe. However, any granulated sugar will work. 

• Eggs – Organic large eggs when possible. Eggs provide structure, leavening, richness, and flavor to the pie.

• Vanilla Extract – Use pure vanilla extract. Extract enhances the flavors in the pie and gives it more flavor depth.

• Salt – Enhances the flavor and boiling point of the pie when baking.

• All-purpose flour – Works to add strength and structure to the recipe. We like King Arthur Flour. 

• Semisweet Chocolate Chips – Semi-sweet chocolate morsels add a rich chocolate sweetness to the pie.

Directions to Make a Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

• To make the chocolate chip cookie pie filling, beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy.

• Add in the eggs and continue to beat. Add vanilla and salt.

• Slowly add in the flour and blend on low. Add in the chocolate chips.

• Pour the batter in the pie crust and bake in a 325-degree oven for 30 minutes until the pie is golden brown. Do not overbake, remember this is a pie, not a cookie, so you want it to be gooier like a pie.

Ingredient Substitutions

Switch out semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips or chocolate chunks.

Add a dash of bourbon to the pie for extra flavor!

If you like the texture of nuts, add walnuts or pecans to the recipe.

Use almond extract instead of vanilla for a nutty flavor.

Instead of a shortbread cookie crust, make a graham cracker crust. Want to make this recipe even easier? Use a store-bought pie crust.
