🧾 Why You’ll Love This Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

What sets this recipe apart is its comfort food appeal combined with simplicity. Classic chocolate chip cookies baked in a pie pan become thicker, chewier, and even more indulgent. Instead of rolling dough into small balls, you pour a buttery batter into a pan and let it transform into something extraordinary.

Here’s why this cookie pie is a crowd favorite:

✔ Warm and gooey inside with a slightly crisp top
✔ Simple ingredients found in most kitchens
✔ Perfectly serves a crowd or family
✔ Great alone or with ice cream or whipped cream
✔ Easy—even beginner bakers can nail this recipe (Recipes by Clare)

🍪 Ingredients

Pie Batter

½ cup melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet recommended) (Recipes by Clare)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Get Ready

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie plate or 9×9-inch baking pan well with butter or non-stick spray. Setting up your pan properly ensures the cookie pie releases easily after baking. (Recipes by Clare)

2. Make the Cookie Batter

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until they blend into a smooth, glossy mixture. This step helps dissolve the sugar into the butter and creates a moist base for your pie. (Recipes by Clare)

Add the vanilla extract, then crack in the egg, mixing until fully incorporated. At this point, your batter will begin to look creamy and rich, setting the stage for the cookie texture. (Recipes by Clare)

3. Add Dry Ingredients

Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, then add baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Gently fold everything together until just combined — be careful not to overmix, so the pie doesn’t become tough. (Recipes by Clare)

4. Add Chocolate Chips

Pour the cookie batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly across the top so every slice gets melty chocolate in every bite. (Recipes by Clare)

5. Bake to Perfection

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. The center should still be soft — that gooey texture is part of what makes this dessert unforgettable. (Recipes by Clare)

Remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This brief rest allows the cookie pie to set a bit, so it’s easier to slice. (Recipes by Clare)

🍨 Serving Suggestions

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie is absolutely divine served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream — the cold cream melting into the warm, gooey chocolate is pure comfort food magic. A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt can elevate the flavors even more.

It also pairs beautifully with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra chocolate chips on top for presentation.

🧠 Chef’s Tips for Best Results

Use brown sugar generously — it adds moisture and chewiness that make this pie irresistible. (Recipes by Clare)
For an extra rich chocolate experience, use a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips. (Recipes by Clare)
Don’t overbake — a slightly softer center results in a cookie pie that’s soft and decadent. (Recipes by Clare)
For the crispiest edges, rotate the pan halfway through baking so it browns evenly.

🍫 Texture & Flavor — What to Expect

The exterior of this pie bakes up beautifully — lightly crisp and golden — while the inside remains soft, chewy, and loaded with gooey chocolate chips. The combination of rich brown sugar and melted chocolate creates a deep, comforting sweetness that contrasts perfectly with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

When you cut into this pie, you should see the edges pull slightly away from the pan, and the center should still look tender and moist — that’s the moment you know it’s done just right. (Recipes by Clare)

🗓 Storage Recommendations

You can store leftover slices at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate and warm individual slices before serving to bring back the gooey texture. (Recipes by Clare)
