Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

By mitzzy

This is one of those recipes that in my opinion, everyone needs in their repertoire (oh, automatic spell-check, how I love thee). It's super fast to put together, chances are you have everything on hand already, and it's a knock-it-out-of-the-ballpark for both kids and adults. This is my go-to dessert when I'm taking someone dinner after they've had a baby, or moved in to a new house, or just need some happiness on their doorstep. The bonus is that you can make it ahead of time (bake in the morning and eat later at night, or make and keep un-baked in the fridge all day). I also love that if you cheat and buy pie crusts, they come in 2-packs and it's really easy to double so you can eat one and share one, or make 2 for a crowd. I'm sharing it today because it's a perfect family Valentine's Day treat!

Ingredients

• Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
• Recipe from Nestle

• 1/2 C flour
• 1/2 C white granulated sugar
• 1/2 C packed brown sugar
• 3/4 C real butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)

• 1 C chopped pecans (you are welcome to make it without nuts)

Preparation

Step 1

Vanilla ice cream, or sweetened whipped cream for serving (a must! I prefer ice cream)
optional: chocolate sauce (honestly, doesn't really need chocolate sauce, but it looks pretty!)
