This Chocolate Cookie Pie is the ultimate indulgent dessert, combining the comforting flavors of a classic chocolate chip cookie with a rich layer of chocolate spread and chunks in the middle. The result is a gooey, soft, and chocolate-filled pie that’s perfect for sharing (or enjoying all to yourself!). It’s easy to make and bakes up beautifully with a golden crust and a melty, chocolatey center.

Why You’ll Love This:

You’ll love this cookie pie because it’s incredibly rich, gooey, and packed with layers of chocolate goodness. The combination of brown sugar and butter gives the cookie dough a deep, caramel-like flavor, while the chocolate spread and chunks in the middle create a delicious surprise when you slice into it. It’s an easy recipe that delivers an impressive and indulgent dessert in no time.

Perfect Occasion:

This cookie pie is perfect for special occasions, parties, or just when you’re in the mood for an extra-decadent treat. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert that will impress everyone. It’s also a great option for birthdays or holidays when you want to offer something a little different from the usual cake or cookies.

Decoration Tips:

For an extra decorative touch, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the top once the pie has cooled slightly. You can also sprinkle some sea salt on top to enhance the flavor contrast. Serve slices on a plate with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of ice cream for added indulgence.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• A pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons chocolate spread
• Chocolate chunks of your choice (for the middle layer)

Directions:

1. Mix the Sugars and Butter:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir well, then add the softened butter and mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the Wet Ingredients:
   Crack in the eggs and mix really well until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add a pinch of salt and the vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
3. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, starting with 2 1/2 cups of flour and adding more if needed until the dough reaches a soft, workable consistency. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Assemble the Cookie Pie:
   Divide the cookie dough in half. Press one half of the dough into the bottom of a greased or lined pie tin. Spread the chocolate spread over the dough, then sprinkle with your choice of chocolate chunks. Top with the remaining half of the cookie dough, spreading it evenly over the filling.
5. Chill the Dough:
   Place the pie in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to help the dough firm up and bake more evenly.
6. Bake:
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Once chilled, bake the cookie pie for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is still slightly soft.
7. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the cookie pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm for a gooey texture, with or without a scoop of ice cream.

Enjoy!
