Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (360g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2.5 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 cup (100g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), optional
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Lavishly coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray or butter, ensuring complete coverage to prevent adhesion.
- Oven Setup: Position the rack centrally and heat the oven to 350°F (175°C), allowing full temperature stabilization.
- Base Mixture: Whip softened butter and sugars in a large bowl until achieving a cloud-like, granule-free consistency, creating a smooth foundation for the cookie pie.
- Wet Ingredient Integration: Vigorously blend eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, achieving a glossy, homogeneous texture that promises rich flavor.
- Dough Formation: Delicately fold flour into the wet ingredients, creating a cohesive dough while maintaining a tender crumb, avoiding aggressive mixing that could toughen the texture.
- Flavor Incorporation: Gently distribute chocolate chips and nuts throughout the dough, ensuring an even dispersion of delectable morsels in every slice.
- Pan Distribution: Elegantly spread the dough across the prepared pan, sculpting a slightly elevated border for visual appeal and optimal texture.
- Baking and Monitoring: Bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown perimeter and a center that remains tantalizingly soft, indicating perfect doneness.
- Cooling and Setting: Allow the cookie pie to rest in the pan for 15-20 minutes, permitting natural firming and flavor melding, transforming it from hot to gloriously consumable.
Notes
- Prevent Over-Baking: Watch the edges closely during baking, as they can quickly turn dark brown. Remove the pie when the center looks slightly underdone to maintain a soft, gooey texture.
- Customize Chocolate Chips: Experiment with different chocolate varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate chips to personalize the flavor profile and create unique taste combinations.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother, more consistent dough that blends more easily and rises evenly.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities, maintaining the same rich and indulgent cookie pie experience.
