This recipe is quick, beginner-friendly, and delivers a rich, gooey dessert with classic chocolate chip cookie flavor. It is perfect for sharing and easy to customize.

Ingredients

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

All-purpose flour
All-purpose flour provides structure to the cookie pie while keeping the texture soft and tender rather than cakey.

Unsalted butter
Butter adds richness and that unmistakable cookie flavor. I like using melted butter for a denser, chewier result.

Brown sugar
Brown sugar contributes moisture and a deep, caramel-like sweetness that enhances the chocolate.

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

Eggs
Eggs bind the ingredients together and help achieve a soft, sliceable texture.

Vanilla extract
Vanilla adds warmth and depth, making the flavors taste more rounded and complete.

Baking soda
Baking soda provides just enough lift to keep the pie from being too dense.

Salt
Salt sharpens the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.

Chocolate chips
Chocolate chips are the star of the recipe, melting into pockets of richness throughout the pie.

Directions

Begin by preheating your oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a pie dish or oven-safe skillet and set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth and glossy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed.

Transfer the dough to the prepared pie dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but still slightly soft.

Allow the cookie pie to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Variations and Customizations

This Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie is an excellent base for creative variations. You can add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch, which contrast nicely with the soft texture. I have also tried mixing in white chocolate chips, and the result was pleasantly sweet and creamy.

For a richer dessert, swirl peanut butter or chocolate spread into the batter before baking. If you enjoy a hint of saltiness, sprinkle flaky salt over the top just before baking for a sweet-salty finish.

You can also experiment with different chocolate varieties, such as dark chocolate chunks or a mix of milk and dark chocolate. Each variation keeps the recipe familiar while offering a new twist.
