Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie Recipe

I have very few recipes that I have been making for over ten years.  This Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie recipe is one of the few.  The only other things I can think of are cinnamon rolls and ziti.

This is also so easy, that I can make the pie from memory.

I was first introduced to this pie when one of my students (Bryn, to be specific) gave me this pie on the last day of school.  I loved the rich flavor and the three layers.  The following school year, I inquired of her mother who told me that it was a Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie.  I searched it out, and found it.  Below is my own adaptation-with less butter!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
2 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
 1 cup chocolate chips
1 prepared pie shell

Beat eggs until foamy.  Mix in sugars and flour.  Beat in the butter.  Stir in the chocolate chips.  Pour in prepared pie shell.

Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes.  Test with a toothpick to confirm it is baked thoroughly.

Please Note
~ You can use any pie shell you like.  A friend even used chocolate graham cracker crust.  I use a pat-in-the-pan/no roll pie crust for ease.
~ Occasionally, I need to use a pie shield to keep the crust from browning too much.
~ This is great with peanut butter chips mixed in, too.
~ The layers you see above just happen naturally with this recipe.
~ The above picture was taken when the pie was still a bit warm.  The chocolate will harden, though the chips do not all stay "formed."

This is definitely a simple recipe, easy enough for even the youngest of bakers!  Enjoy!
