In honor of Pi Day I am doing a Recipe Redo of one of my favorite pies. (Did you know March 14th was national Pi Day!!??)
I originally posted this recipe several years ago. It is one of those recipes I have been making for over 20 years. It was first shared with me by one of my Creative Memories customers. Back in the day, I use to host monthly scrapbooking workshops at my home and I would always fix dinner. This Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie was one of the most requested desserts that I served.
My favorite dessert of all times is a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Some restaurants call it a Pizookie. I first had one years ago with some girlfriends in Laguna Beach and have never forgotten the life changing experience.
Today’s recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie is a slightly more sophisticated form of that yummy dessert – basically the same thing but in the form of a pie.
It is an easy to throw together, last minute dessert. I like to keep frozen pie crusts in the freezer so that when the urge hits I am ready to go!
The filling for the pie is just like cookie dough and tastes great uncooked – just like cookie dough!
The pie is pretty gooey when it comes out of the oven.
If you prefer your cookies not so gooey just let it set up for a while. Top it with a scoop of ice cream and enjoy!!! Yum!!!

Enjoy!

Drooling over on my end of the computer!
I am so excited! This recipe is in my oven right now!! I will be posting about it on my blog tomorrow. Thank you so much for an easy pie recipe that I can whip up with things I already had on hand. I can’t wait to try it tonight with some vanilla ice cream!!
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Be prepared for it to be runny and gooey when it first comes out of the oven. I actually like it this way but it will set up as it cools.
Oh my goodness!! This looks divine! Your photography skills are superb! I must make this soon!
Making this today! The gooey is what sold me, but it being Pi day helped as well. Thanks for the recipe!
Making this for Pi Day to take over to my daughter’s teacher. Tasted the cookie dough…really delicious. I was wondering if it’s supposed to have a top crust? I was doubling the recipe using Trader Joes pie crust, so I just rolled it out a little larger and cut the leftover into some strips for the top. Should I have used a 2nd crust?
No it doesn’t have a top crust but I am sure a few strips of pie crust won’t hurt it! Enjoy!
This pie is my families all time favorite! You looks delicious!

Goodness, this looks SO good! We absolutely love chocolate chip cookies around here, but as the baker, I’m the one stuck in the kitchen until the last one is baked. What a delicious alternative! Thank you for sharing!
Abby – you are right this is a great way to bake the cookies all at one time! Enjoy!!
I absolutely love this pie! It looks amazing!

Can you make this pie the day before you want to serve and just heat it up in the oven the day of?
Absolutely – it holds up really well.
Now I’m going to be dreaming about this all day. It looks fantastic!

I’ve had this pie for YEARS! My grandma has been making it for us whenever we request it! However, we call it Tollhouse Pie.

If the dough isn’t getting baked all the way through and is still “uncooked” those eggs are still raw! I would swap out the eggs for something like applesauce, mashed tofu or bananas, and then store it refrigerated until ready to serve just to be on the safe side.
The inside is cooked, just not solid.

I just made this for some college kids we sponsor. They (and we) devoured it. It was soooo good! I am a fan of eating cookie dough before I put the chocolate chips in so I might try this by 1 1/2 timesing (is that a thing?;) the recipe and leaving out the chocolate chips. (okay maybe not all of them. I need some chocolate.)
I just made this recipe and everyone devoured it! It was soo good. I usually make cookie dough and eat it without the chocolate chips so I may try doubling it and leaving out the chocolate chips. (Okay maybe not all of them. I’m not that crazy.
)
Yeah! Glad it was a hit. We love it at our house.
