How to prepare Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed 🍬
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍚
• 2 large eggs 🥚🥚
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 🍦
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 🥄
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
• 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (optional for a crust base) 🥧

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🔥
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. 🥣
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. 🥄
5. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. If using a pie crust, place it in a pie dish. Pour the cookie dough batter into the crust, spreading it out evenly. If you prefer, you can bake the pie without a crust; just grease the pie dish.
7. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the edge is golden brown and the center is set.
8. Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy! 🕒
