Here's our slightly simpler version of Bud's fantastic pie (which you should mail-order if you love gooey chocolate chip cookies). Chocolate chip whipped cream is a pretty good substitute for the ice cream Bud insists you eat with it.
Ingredients
Makes 12 to 16 servings
Pie:
Whipped Cream:
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch pie plates; set aside.
Step 2
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, and mix until fully combined. Fold in the 3 cups chocolate chips and, if desired, the walnuts. Divide the dough between the prepared pie plates and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Step 3
3. Bake about 30 minutes or until pies are golden and slightly firm to the touch but still soft. If the pies begin to darken too much before they are baked through, cover with foil and continue baking. Let pies cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 4
4. While the pies cool, whip the cream until soft peaks form (tips curl). Add the confectioners' sugar and whip until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate whipped cream until ready to use. Spread the whipped cream over the pies and serve.

Back to TopFor my diabetic better-half, I substitute 1 cup agave syrup for brown sugar and Splenda for white sugar. The finished pie has a softer texture and the center falls a bit, but the flavor is the same. I add about 1/4 t cinnamon and grate in some nutmeg too. It's great that the recipe makes two pies. One for now and one for the freezer. Later on when we want a treat, we'll have one waiting.

As I am celiac I substituted Cup 4 Cup flour but that was the only change needed. Family (grown children) LOVED it. Even took one whole pie to share with work mates. Definitely a keeper

This is a pretty straight-forward recipe. I found the taste flawless, but the pie became more crumbly than gooey the second day. I would also note here that you'll want a heavy-duty mixer to make both pies. I have a KitchenAid Professional mixer with the 6-quart bowl instead of the typical Artisan with the 4-quart bowl. I definitely needed all of the power and capacity of the Professional mixer to handle 2 pies with all the ingredients mixed in.

I have been baking chocolate chip cookies for forever, and never found the right ratio of butter and shortening to give me a cookie that is soft on the inside, while a bit crunchy on the outside. This recipe is it without the hassle of figuring out the ratio and dropping cookies. Its like a giant cookie for sure, not really a pie except for the pie plate you cook it in, but who cares, it was great and I got rave reviews without a crumb left. I cut the recipe in half since I only wanted one pie (using 1 egg) and it was fabulous. This one is a keeper.

Leave it to the Deen family to nail down good ole comfort food. My kids were amazed. Heck I was amazed. Perfect recipe for picnics, superbowl parties, casual gatherings or a big snow day with kids in the house. Thanks to all who commented on not overcooking the pie. p.s. I added 1 cup of pecans instead of the walnuts. yum

I should have read the reviews first...my middles would not bake, so I covered with foil and baked and baked! Now I know that the centers were meant to be gooey! As a result, my bottoms and edges were too done, but it was still gobbled up and loved by all! Next time I'll know!

我爱这道菜! !我做了一次,我计划making it again. I brought it to a neighbors house and she and her family love it. I put the remaining pie in the freezer for when I need a sweet treat. I will definatley make this for casual parties! I didnt do the whipped cream because I thought that it would be too much. When I tried the pie I realized I was right, and with the whipped cream it would have been too sweet.v

I've made this several times now, most recently for the 4th of July, and it's wonderful. Even when I don't think it comes out quite right (through my own error) my friends love it.

It looks really good, smells good but is the middle suppose to be gooey like? I feel like if I had baked it anymore it would have turned into a chocolate chip cookie cake.

Technically, this isn't a pie at all, there is no pastry. But it's so good, I don't think anyone will argue. It's delicious. The whipped cream is a nice bonus.
