Prepare the Pie Crust
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut in 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 1/4 cup of cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, then refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) as you begin making the gooey filling for your chocolate chip cookie pie.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until well combined.
- Next, blend in 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of pure cane sugar, and 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar until smooth, followed by gradually stirring in 1 cup of melted butter that has cooled slightly.
Add Chocolate and Nuts
- Once the filling mixture is cohesive, fold in 1 cup of milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips for that rich, chocolatey flavor.
- If desired, gently mix in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts for added texture. This creamy mixture is what makes your Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie so irresistible, so ensure it is evenly combined before moving to the next step.
Combine and Bake
- Carefully pour the chocolate filling into the prepared unbaked pie shell while it sits on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any possible overflow.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and allow it to bake for about 1 hour. Keep an eye on the pie until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggy; this indicates your gooey filling is just right.
Cool and Serve
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This cooling period allows the filling to set slightly for the perfect slice.
- Serve your warm Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie as is, or with a delightful scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes
Allow melted butter to cool adequately before mixing it into the filling to prevent cooking the eggs. Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overflow while baking. If using store-bought crust, line the baking sheet with parchment to catch any bubbling butter for easy clean-up.
