🍪 Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie 🥧
Ingredients
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour, lightly spooned and leveled
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, optional)
Instructions
Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 9-inch pie dish or a 9×9-inch square baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.
Wet mix: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar using a whisk or spatula until smooth and glossy. Mix in the vanilla extract, then add the egg and stir until fully incorporated and slightly thickened.
Dry blend: Sift the flour over the wet mixture. Add the baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Gently fold everything together just until no dry streaks remain—avoid overmixing to keep the texture tender.
Assemble: Transfer the thick batter into your prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface (they’ll sink slightly as it bakes). For extra visual appeal, press a few more chips into the top before baking.
Bake: Place in the center rack and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set (a slight wobble is fine—it will firm up as it cools).
Serve: Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Best enjoyed warm, optionally paired with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel.
