This isn’t just any cookie. Deep dish cookie pie is a glorious hybrid between a soft, buttery cookie and a thick, indulgent pie. Baked in a pie dish (or a cast-iron skillet for extra rustic charm!), it has a golden, slightly crisp exterior and a luxuriously soft and melty center.

I promised you versatile, and here’s proof! You can dress it up for celebrations, serve it plain for a simple night in, or go wild with your favorite toppings. Anything but boring!!

One bowl wonder: Minimal dishes, maximum reward.
Customizable: Chocolate chips, nuts, caramel bits — the choice is yours!
Party pleaser: Feeds a crowd and looks absolutely drool-worthy.
Make ahead friendly: Perfect for prepping in advance and baking fresh.

Imagine the best chocolate chip cookie you’ve ever had — now imagine it thicker, softer, gooier, and studded with pools of melty chocolate. Each bite is a warm hug. Honestly, the smell alone when this is in the oven is incredible!!

Benefits of Making This Recipe

Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Necessary Tools for Preparation

Mixing bowls
Whisk and spatula
9-inch pie dish or cast iron skillet
Measuring cups and spoons
Cooling rack

Possible Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

Feeling creative? You can swap or add:

White chocolate chips instead of regular
Peanut butter chips for a richer flavor
Walnuts or pecans for a satisfying crunch
M&M’s for a pop of color (perfect for birthdays!)
Gluten-free flour blend if you need it allergy-friendly

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your pie dish or skillet.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
Add dry ingredients: Sprinkle flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix!
Fold in chocolate chips: Save a few for sprinkling on top!
Assemble: Spread the dough evenly into your prepared dish. Press in those extra chocolate chips on top for good measure.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just set. (A slightly underbaked center is chef’s kiss perfection!)
Cool slightly, then dig in while it’s still warm and gooey!

A big scoop of vanilla ice cream (highly recommended!)
Drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce
Fresh berries for a tart contrast
A dusting of powdered sugar for a bakery-style finish

Don’t overbake: It should look a little underdone in the center when you pull it out.
Use good chocolate: It really makes a difference!
Melt the butter but let it cool a little before mixing, to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Double the vanilla if you’re a vanilla lover like me — it adds so much warmth!
