Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like this recipe because it comes together quickly and doesn’t require any fancy tools or techniques. I can use a store-bought crust when I want to save time, and the filling is mixed in one bowl. It’s perfect for sharing, but I also enjoy it as a simple dessert to keep on the counter for a few days.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 9-inch all butter pie crust, homemade or store-bought
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). I place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside. In a mixing bowl, I combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, stirring until smooth. I add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until everything is well blended.

I stir in the salt and baking soda, then gently fold in the flour until just combined. I finish by folding in the chocolate chips and nuts if I’m using them. I spread the batter evenly into the prepared pie crust.

I bake the pie for about 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is just set. I let it cool before slicing so it holds together nicely.

Servings And Timing

I usually get about 8 servings from this pie.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 35–40 minutes
Total time: about 55 minutes

Variations

I sometimes switch out the chocolate chips for white chocolate or dark chocolate. When I want a richer flavor, I add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking. I also like using a chocolate cookie crust instead of a traditional pie crust for a deeper chocolate taste.

Storage/Reheating

I store this cookie pie covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When I want it warm, I heat a slice in the microwave for about 15–20 seconds.

FAQs

Can I make this without nuts?

I often leave the nuts out, and the pie still turns out delicious and chewy.

Can I use a frozen pie crust?

I use frozen pie crusts all the time. I just let them thaw slightly before filling.

How do I know when it’s done?

I look for a lightly golden top and a center that no longer jiggles when I gently shake the pan.

Can I freeze chocolate chip cookie pie?

I freeze individual slices wrapped tightly, then thaw them at room temperature when I’m ready to eat.

What should I serve with this pie?

I love serving it with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Conclusion

This easy chocolate chip cookie pie is one of those desserts I come back to again and again. It’s simple, comforting, and perfect for any occasion when I want a sweet treat that feels special without a lot of work.
