Ingredients

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chunks (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate or cast-iron skillet with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars

Using a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 3–4 minutes until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5: Combine the Batter

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6: Fold in Chocolate

Fold the chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and nuts into the dough using a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7: Fill the Pie Dish

Spread the thick cookie dough evenly into the prepared pie dish. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

Step 8: Bake

Bake for 38–42 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just slightly soft. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9: Cool

Allow the cookie pie to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing. The center will continue to set as it cools.

Step 10: Serve

Serve warm on its own or top each slice with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, or fresh berries.

Recipe Tips

  • Do not overbake if you prefer a gooey center.
  • Room-temperature butter creates a smoother dough.
  • Chill the dough for 20 minutes if your kitchen is warm.
  • Add peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, or toffee bits for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
