How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

PIN IT

Step 1 – Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2 – Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, combine softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until creamy and smooth — this is where all the flavor magic begins!

Step 3 – Add Eggs and Vanilla

Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Your mixture should look thick, glossy, and irresistible.

Step 4 – Add Dry Ingredients

Fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined — overmixing can make the pie tough.

Step 5 – Stir in the Chocolate Chips

Fold in those luscious chocolate chips! I always save a handful to sprinkle on top before baking for that bakery-style finish.

Step 6 – Bake

Spread the dough evenly in your pie dish and bake for 28–32 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center looks just set. (Don’t overbake — the gooey middle is the best part!)

Step 7 – Cool and Serve

Let cool for about 15 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate.

What to Serve with Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

• A scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream for contrast.
• A drizzle of warm fudge sauce or salted caramel.
• Pair it with a glass of cold milk or even a creamy iced latte.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing.
• Don’t overbake! The center should still jiggle slightly — it sets as it cools.
• Let it rest: Cooling helps it slice neatly while staying gooey.
• Make ahead: You can prepare the dough up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate it.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temp: Keep covered for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Store up to 5 days in an airtight container.
• Freezer: Slice and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15–20 seconds.
