Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Question: Is there, in the entire scope of the English language, a pairing of words more magical, more life-giving, more incredible than cookie pie?

Of course there isn’t. Those two words, when separated, are fantastic. You put them together, however, and you have something that can change lives.

(Other word combinations that I would say approach the power of cookie pie: unicorn army; candy rifle; cupcake trampoline.)

Amy made this dessert when we went over to our friends Scott and Ingrid’s Mansion On The Top Of The Hill. Before we ate dinner, the four of us, along with Dalene and Casey, hiked up to a cell phone tower and caught the sun hitting the Bay. It was beautiful. But, truthfully, all I could think was this: “This is great and all, but what’s that cookie pie going to taste like?”

And let me tell you, friends: it was perfect. Dense and delicious. I recommend this warmed with a scoop of ice cream. It’s perfect for any occasion, whether you’re trying to recover from a hike that you could’ve easily nailed 10 years prior, or if you’re sitting on the back porch with some friends, smoking pipes and talking about life.

1-9”uncooked pie crust (I use the store bought pie crust in the aluminum container)
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup butterscotch chips
½ cup butter, melted
2 eggs
¾ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350F.

Place the uncooked crust on a baking sheet (you only need to place the pie crust on a baking sheet if it is in the aluminum container. If you are using a glass pie dish, no need to put it on a baking sheet).

Sprinkle walnuts, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips on the bottom of the uncooked pie crust.

In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, sugar,flour and vanilla with fork or wire whisk until well blended. Pour on top of the walnuts, chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips.

Bake for 30- 35 minutes, or until center no longer jiggles.



*I think next time I will reduce the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips to 1/3 cup each, and then add 1/3 cup coconut. Yummy! (AW)



I found this recipe on a blog I read called A Place Called Simplicity.
