Chocolate Chips Dressed Up

I bake once or twice a week, for my hubby who has a sweet tooth.  As soon as he is done dinner, he's like a little kid wanting dessert right away, so there is always something home baked in the house just for him.  I didn't want to make chocolate chip cookies, again, so I branched out, experimented and came up with a chocolate chip cookie pie.  Don't laugh, it was awesome, even I couldn't believe it! The bottom layer is chocolaty and gooey, so good.

 I took the easy way out and used a frozen pie crust, and some of the other ingredients I used. 

Measuring and getting ready to mix up the batter, butter and eggs at room temperature works best.

 Beat the eggs until light yellow in color and foamy, start adding the other ingredients. 

 Beat them together, add the butter.  Cutting it into cubes blends it better.

 The batter will be very thick.  Add the chips and nuts with a spatula when the batter is mixed completely.

 Spread evenly into the pie crust, smooth out the top and bake.  I recommend putting the filled pie crust on a baking sheet to avoid any bubbling over and messes.  And of course, it was all eaten before I got to take a photo of the baked pie.

 Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Ingredients

1 unbaked deep dish pie crust

2 extra large eggs, room temperature

1/2 cup unbleached flour

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar

3/4 cup butter, room temperature

11/2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy and light yellow.  Beat in flour, sugar and brown sugar.  Beat in butter until combined, add vanilla.  Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts, spread into pie shell, this mixture will be very thick.

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until a cake tester when inserted in the center comes out clean and the pie is set. You may have to cover the crust edges with foil if they start to brown too much. When pie is done remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

This pie is best served when warm.  It can be slightly reheated if necessary.  Serve with Ice cream, chocolate sauce or whipped cream.
