Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Filling
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for even baking.
- Beat Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the 2 large eggs until foamy to help create a light texture in the cookie pie filling.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar to the eggs and mix well until combined.
- Add Butter and Flavorings: Stir in the 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until fully incorporated, forming a smooth dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped walnuts if using, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Fill Pie Crust: Pour the prepared mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust and spread it evenly to the edges.
- Bake: Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly gooey if preferred.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing to help it set. Serve warm optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or omitted entirely for a nut-free option.
- To achieve a gooier center, slightly underbake the pie and serve it warm.
- Using softened butter is crucial to ensure smooth incorporation into the filling.
- Letting the pie cool slightly prevents it from falling apart when sliced.
