Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 9-inch All Butter Pie Crust (or use a store bought crust)
Cookie Filling
- ½ cup (113g) Challenge Unsalted Butter, melted
- ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (255g) chocolate chips, plus a few more for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for the initial baking stage of the pie.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges to your liking. Chill the crust while preparing the filling to keep it firm.
- Mix Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon or use a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Leavening: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
- Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture and stir until the dough becomes thick.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Fill Pie Crust: Spread the cookie dough evenly into the chilled pie crust. Sprinkle about ¼ cup of additional chocolate chips on top for an extra chocolatey finish.
- Cover and Bake at High Temperature: Cover the pie edges with a pie shield or foil to prevent over-browning. Place the pie on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 425°F.
- Lower Temperature and Continue Baking: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for approximately 25 minutes, until the cookie pie is puffed, no longer glossy on top, and has a light golden-brown color.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the pie to cool to at least room temperature before slicing to reduce messiness. The pie is delicious warm or at room temperature.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or enjoy plain for a classic treat.
- Storage: Store the pie covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months for longer preservation.
Notes
- Use an all-butter pie crust for the best rich flavor and texture, but store-bought crusts are a convenient alternative.
- Chilling the pie crust before filling helps maintain its shape and prevents shrinkage during baking.
- Cover the pie edges with a pie shield or foil after the initial bake to avoid burning the crust while the filling cooks through.
- The pie tastes great both warm and at room temperature; however, warm slices are a little messier to serve.
- For added texture and flavor variation, try mixing in chopped nuts or substituting some chocolate chips with white chocolate chips.
- To freeze, wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
