What could possibly be better than a warm chocolate chip cookie? A slice of this gooey and oh so chocolatey Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie!
Full disclosure, I discovered this recipe HERE and no the crust is not homemade. But when the filling is this amazing the crust is really kind of an after thought. Don’t get me wrong, the crust is important and provides the vessel to hold this luscious chocolate chip cookie filling in order to be topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s just that with this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie I can still say I baked a pie but not admit my one true cooking weakness.

One of these days I’m going to spend a day on my new granite counter tops and finally perfect a homemade pie crust. I think I’m just impatient with the whole process of making crust. If you’ll notice, the edges on my store-bought pie crust aren’t even that pretty. I mean all I had to do was unroll it into a dish and crimp it. But I was more concerned about getting my filling going so the pie could bake and I could dive in.
Speaking of granite, it’s a great surface for kneading dough which I happen to be much better at. Give me a bread or pizza crust recipe and I am not intimidated at all. Also when it comes to French cuisine I can manage to create cream puffs and cheese soufflés with the best of them. So what is it about pie crust that has me so hung up? Beats me.
But back to this pie. I decided to finally share it on the blog because the Kentucky Derby is coming up. Apparently what is know as a “Derby Pie” can’t be posted about because it is trademarked. But it’s basically a chocolate chip cookie with walnuts (or pecans) baked in a pie crust and usually with a little bourbon in the batter. So this chocolate chip cookie pie is the next best thing that I can share. Do you watch the Derby? I do simply because of our close proximity to Kentucky. It’s fun and basically an excuse to eat some good food and drink bourbon.
Tips for making Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie:
- I use this brand of pie crust
- Please make your own crust if you are experienced and have a good recipe (no blind baking necessary)
- I bake my chocolate chip cookie pie in a 9-inch pie plate similar to THIS
- I personally like my pie with pecans but you can use walnuts or leave the nuts out altogether
- This pie is best if it’s a little under baked – just leave time for it to cool before serving – about 60 minutes

What a beautiful pie1 I’d love to veganize this, my grandkids would love it. It wouldn’t be hard at all! Can’t wait to try!

I don’t think I’ve had a chocolate chip cookie pie. It looks like I’ve been missing some serious yumminess. It looks ooey, gooey good!
foodtasticmom says
You definitely need to make one!
Sonal says
I was drooling the whole time I was reading your post! That chocolate chip cookie pie sounds amazing. Warm
Out of the oven and topped with icecream sounds delicious.

Oh, what a beautiful pie! I already fell in love with him!
I really liked the recipe and the selection of ingredients. But its main highlight is chocolate. I really love chocolate! Already want to start baking this pie! and I’ll serve it with ice cream, just like you did!

Why does it look like there is a crust in top but it doesn’t call for one in recioe?
foodtasticmom says
It’s a cookie. I guess the “crust” you are seeing is the top of the cookie?
karen edelstein says
could this recipe be made without the crust and just line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. We are a gluten free household and i just want to use GF flour. In a pandemic, i wont be able to find GF pie crust so easy. Do you think that it would work?
foodtasticmom says
I’m sorry for the late reply! Did you try it? I imagine it would work…
