Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Sweeteners and Fats:
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup (100g) granulated sugar
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (360g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (100g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), optional
Instructions
- Thoroughly coat the interior of a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan or springform pan with a generous layer of cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), allowing it to fully heat while preparing the mixture.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and both white and brown sugars until the mixture transforms into a light, fluffy consistency with no visible sugar granules.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar blend, whisking vigorously until the ingredients are completely integrated and the mixture appears smooth and glossy.
- Gently fold in all-purpose flour, combining it with the wet ingredients until a cohesive dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Carefully fold chocolate chips and optional nuts into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture to ensure each bite will have a delightful chocolate element.
- Transfer the cookie dough into the prepared pie pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom and creating a slightly raised edge for aesthetic appeal.
- Place the pie pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, watching carefully to ensure the edges are golden brown and the center remains slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookie pie to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, during which time it will continue to set and firm up.
- Slice and serve warm, optionally garnishing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added decadence.
Notes
- Select high-quality chocolate chips for deeper, richer flavor profiles that elevate the entire dessert.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a thick, gooey center.
- Replace eggs with mashed banana or applesauce for a vegan-friendly version that maintains moisture and binding properties.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe celiac-friendly without compromising the classic deep dish cookie texture.
