Ingredient Notes

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– An essential ingredient in this pie! It adds flavor and richness to the recipe. Use organic, whole butter when baking. The butter should be at room temperature and soft.
  • Brown Sugar– Light brown sugar adds sweetness and a rich, caramel-like flavor to the pie. You can also use dark brown sugar if you have that on hand.
  • Granulated Sugar– Use white sugar to add sweetness to a chocolate chip cookie pie and also helps to keep the texture of the pie light and tender.
  • Eggs– Eggs provide moisture and structure to the dough, which creates the perfect texture for a delicious cookie. They also act as a binding agent, helping all the other ingredients stick together. Use organic large eggs when possible.
  • VanillaExtract– Use pure vanilla extract. Extract enhances the flavors in the pie and gives it more flavor depth.
  • Salt– Salt adds flavor and also enhances the sweetness of the sugar, which helps to bring out the flavors in the pie.

Notes

When cooking the pie, remember that cooking times vary. What might take 40 minutes in our oven could take 55 in yours. So set the timer for 30 minutes, check the pie and if it needs more time, add more time.

You will know when the pie is done as it will be a deep golden brown on the outside and then a slight jiggle in the middle. You want it to be a gooey pie not a fully cooked “cookie” this is a pie, not a cookie.

Popping your dough in the fridge allows the fats to cool. As a result, the cookies will expand more slowly, holding onto their texture.
