Recipe--Cookie Pie (a.k.a. Toll House Pie)


A few months ago, I mentioned this delicious Cookie pie that we had when our cousins visited. This pie tastes like a warm, chocolate chip cookie, only better! J It is definitely a family favorite around here! Unfortunately, I cannot promise that calories are lacking from this dessert. J But it makes a delicious treat for special occasions!

Cookie Pie (a.k.a. Toll House Pie)


½ cup butter, softened
¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup flour
1 6-oz package semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup large walnut pieces
1 9-inch, unbaked pie crust
Vanilla ice cream (optional, but recommended. J)

Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, cream butter with brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Stir in flour; mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts; pour into unbaked pie crust. Bake in lower third of oven for 50-55 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Serves 8.
