Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

Butter is the foundation of flavor and texture. Softened butter ensures a tender crumb and rich taste throughout the pie.

Brown sugar adds moisture and a deep caramel-like sweetness that gives the cookie its chewy center.

Granulated sugar balances the brown sugar and helps create lightly crisp edges.

Eggs provide structure and richness. Using room-temperature eggs helps the batter mix evenly.

Vanilla extract enhances the sweetness and rounds out the chocolate flavor.

All-purpose flour forms the structure of the cookie pie while keeping it soft and sliceable.

Baking soda helps the pie rise slightly and keeps it from becoming dense.

Salt balances the sweetness and intensifies the chocolate flavor.

Chocolate chips are the star ingredient. Semi-sweet chips offer the best balance, but milk or dark chocolate also work well.

Directions

Preheat the oven and generously grease a pie dish or oven-safe skillet.

In a large bowl, cream the butter with the brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. This step is key for a soft texture.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Press the dough evenly into the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake until the edges are set and lightly golden while the center remains slightly soft. Avoid overbaking for the best texture.

Allow the cookie pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Variations and Customizations

This Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie is extremely versatile and easy to adapt. For a richer flavor, you can brown the butter before mixing it with the sugars. I tried this once for a special occasion, and it added a subtle nutty depth that everyone noticed.

If you enjoy texture, chopped walnuts or pecans make a great addition. Stir them in with the chocolate chips for a balanced crunch.

For a festive twist, swap some of the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips or white chocolate chunks. You can also swirl in a few spoonfuls of caramel or chocolate spread before baking for a marbled effect.

To make it extra indulgent, serve it warm with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. For a slightly lighter version, reduce the sugar by a small amount without affecting the texture too much.
