Cookie Pie (Derby Pie)

Cookie Pie is THE PIE! A gooey chocolate chip filling, totally reminiscent of chocolate chip cookie dough, baked in a pie crust for pie perfection. Like a nut-free derby pie! It’s decadently delicious, simple to make, and doubles as a perfect nut-free derby pie!

When I talk about being a dietitian who loves balance, this cookie pie is why. It has a flaky pie crust filled with a gooey filling that gives all the chocolate chip cookie vibes.

I grew up eating a similar version as a Kentucky Derby pie with my family, but over the years it’s morphed into this delicious version that’s now requested for anything from the Kentucky Derby to Thanksgiving dessert!

Ingredients

For a full ingredient list with quantities, please check out the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Butter – while brown butter is most often made with unsalted butter, you can use salted or unsalted, both work fine!
• Brown Sugar – light brown sugar is used to give a deeper caramelized, chocolate chip cookie flavor.
• White Sugar (not pictured) – yes, more sugar lol
• Eggs – help bind the filling and creates the gooey consistency.
• Flour – adds just the right amount of thickness to the gooey filling.
• Vanilla – you can use vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, but I personally find vanilla bean paste to have better flavor.
• Chocolate – I always use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but use your preferred type of chocolate!
• Pie Crust – store-bought or homemade, whichever you prefer is fine!

4. Bake for 50-60 minutes.

Cookie Pie Variations

• Gluten Free: Use a gluten-free pie crust and an equal amount of a cup-for-cup gluten free all purpose flour blend. Also be sure that any other ingredients, like chocolate chips and vanilla, are gluten-free, too.
• Dairy Free: Use a dairy-free butter substitute, a vegan pie crust, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
• Add Nuts: If you like nuts in your chocolate chip cookies, try adding chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts to your cookie pie.
• Brown Butter: Take the flavor a step further and brown the butter!
• Swap Different Chocolates: I’m 100% partial to semi-sweet chocolate chips in this cookie pie, but you can also use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even butterscotch chips.

Storage

I recommend cooling the pie on the counter for up to a couple hours, but then storing it in the fridge.

We enjoy eating this cookie pie both hot and cold. If you like it warm, simply microwave a slice for 15-30 seconds.
