This recipe uses simple ingredients that can be purchased at your local grocery store. Here is a list of all of the ingredients you need to make this pie:

  • Unsalted Butter– An essential ingredient in this pie! It adds flavor and richness to the recipe. Use organic, whole butter when baking. The butter should be at room temperature and soft.
  • Brown Sugar– Light brown sugar adds sweetness and a rich, caramel-like flavor to the pie. You can also use dark brown sugar if you have that on hand.
  • Granulated Sugar– Use white sugar to add sweetness to a chocolate chip cookie pie and also helps to keep the texture of the pie light and tender.
  • Eggs– Eggs provide moisture and structure to the dough, which creates the perfect texture for a delicious cookie. They also act as a binding agent, helping all the other ingredients stick together. Use organic large eggs when possible.
  • VanillaExtract– Use pure vanilla extract. Extract enhances the flavors in the pie and gives it more flavor depth.
  • Salt– Salt adds flavor and also enhances the sweetness of the sugar, which helps to bring out the flavors in the pie.

Notes

When cooking the pie, remember that cooking times vary. What might take 40 minutes in our oven could take 55 in yours. So set the timer for 30 minutes, check the pie and if it needs more time, add more time.

You will know when the pie is done as it will be a deep golden brown on the outside and then a slight jiggle in the middle. You want it to be a gooey pie not a fully cooked “cookie” this is a pie, not a cookie.

FAQs

What is the secret to chewy cookies? ›

Cornstarch helps product soft and thick cookies. Using more brown sugar than white sugar results in a moister, softer cookie. An extra egg yolk increases chewiness. Rolling the cookie dough balls to be tall and lumpy instead of wide and smooth gives the cookies a bakery-style textured thickness.

Is semi sweet or milk chocolate better for cookies? ›

If you're after a sweeter flavor, opt for milk or white chocolate, but if you want to break down the already sweet cookie dough, go for semisweet or dark chocolate.

What makes a cookie the best? ›

The best cookies have layers of texture. A slightly crisp outer shell that holds up to some heat with an inner core that's soft and chewy. Premium cookies taste great at room temperature, straight out of the fridge or slightly heated. Creating cookies in small batches is key.

What kind of chocolate is best for chocolate chip cookies? ›

Use a dark chocolate that contains between 60% to 80% cacao for a classic chocolate chip cookie. The bittersweet flavor of the dark chocolate balances out the sugars in the cookie dough, resulting in a well-balanced, traditional chocolate chip cookie.

How do I make my cookies chewy instead of crunchy? ›

How To Make Cookies Chewy Without Cornstarch

  2. Choose margarine or shortening instead of butter. ...
  3. Use baking powder instead of baking soda. ...
  4. Rest your dough. ...
  5. Shorten baking time.

What is the best flour for cookies? ›

All-purpose flour is the most commonly used flour in cookie recipes due to its moderate protein content (usually around 10-12%). This balanced protein level makes it versatile enough to produce both soft and chewy cookies as well as slightly crisp ones.

Are cookies better with white or brown sugar? ›

In that role, white sugar aerates the dough when creamed with butter for thick and puffy cookies. Brown sugar, meanwhile, is dense and compacts easily, creating fewer air pockets during creaming—that means that there's less opportunity to entrap gas, creating cookies that rise less and spread more.

What is the most loved cookie? ›

Chocolate chip cookies

What is the most popular type of cookie? It might just be this one. Ever the crowd-pleaser, the chocolate chip cookie is renowned for its balance of richness and sweetness.

What is the most important thing in cookies? ›

Flour is the main ingredient that provides structure in a cookie – without it, there would be no cookie! The gluten in flour forms a web of sorts – the framework that catches the air bubbles/gasses given off during rising.

What chocolate chips do bakers use? ›

Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips. Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. Market Pantry Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels. Nestle Toll House 53% Cacao Dark Chocolate Morsels.

What makes chocolate chip cookies taste so good? ›

In the center, it's softer. The chocolate gives us a melty, dense mouthfeel. The caramelized butter, sugar, vanilla, chocolate, and subtle notes of salt offer a balanced flavor profile. The saltiness highlights and enhances the preexisting flavors.

What makes chocolate chip cookies not flat? ›

Oven temperatures are a crucial factor in baking. If your cookies consistently come out flat, you may have selected the wrong baking temperature. If you bake cookies using too much heat, the fats in the dough begin to melt before the other ingredients can cook together and form your cookie's rise.

What are 3 factors that contribute to a chewy cookie? ›

The ingredients you use and how you shape your cookies both play an important role in whether your cookies turn out crispy or chewy. The type of flour and sugar you use, if your cookie dough contains eggs, and whether you use melted or softened butter all factor into the crispy-chewy equation, too.

Why do my cookies never turn out chewy? ›

You can try adding more egg to your recipe. Eggs make cookies softer and puffier. It doesn't need to be a lot of egg; half of an extra large egg will make a difference in a basic recipe. You can also swap out egg yolks for whole eggs.

Why are my cookies hard instead of chewy? ›

According to The Kitchn, this occurs when you over-mix the dough. Mixing the dough naturally causes gluten to develop in the flour, and while you do need a good amount of gluten to give your cookies structure, too much of it will result in hard cookies.

What makes cookies chewy butter or shortening? ›

But, it turns out that margarine or vegetable shortening is the secret to chewy cookies. I still make mine with butter, though.
