Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie (from bakingwithlisey.com)
I switched blog hosts earlier this year, and while that was overall an excellent move, a few things got lost in communication and we accidentally didn't get Lisey's blog moved.
And I thought it got moved so I gave the go-ahead to my old host to delete my stuff.
WHOOPS.
Lisey's not still blogging, but I had planned to keep her site up just because I know people still use some of the recipes on there.
Luckily, my kind new blog hosts told me I could use the Wayback Machine to access some archives of Lisey's site.
It's a pretty clunky method, but it's better than nothing, so I'm going to repost some of her recipes here for you guys in the coming weeks, just so that we still have them available!
Anyway.
This recipe is the one most of you have been asking me for, so, here you go.
It's basically just an enormous chocolate chip cookie, but it's in the shape of a pie and you slice it into wedges.
Sooo, Lisey and I initially had baked this for Pi Day (3-14) because it's a heck of a lot easier than actually making a pie.
And if it's in a pie plate, it totally counts as pie.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
(printable version is over at the blog where we originally found the recipe)
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup toffee bits or chopped up Heath bars
Heat oven to 350 ° F. Spray a pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
Then, in a mixer, combine the butter and brown sugar and beat until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until blended. Stir in the dry ingredients and then mix in the chocolate chips. Spread in the greased pie plate.
Bake for 25-30 minutes (go for 25 because ours was a little too crispy at the edges at 30).
Some sick person stuck needles in strawberries and the poor Australian berry farmers are now doing it very tough. I bought a heap of berries and made strawberry jam. Today I made relish. There are now home made gifts for Christmas.
I am simplifying how I eat. This is to control my blood sugars. I hope to drop my food costs by doing so.
Since my children have moved out I am stunned at how my washing has dropped off. I need to adjust my cooking a little more as I seem to be cooking too much at time.
I am giving my food scraps to my neighbour for her chickens. Occasionally she gives us eggs.
We shopped around for fuel and managed to save 20 cents a litre (quart).
Looks yummy! I switched from Blue Host to Site Ground late last year because BH was giving me a lot of problems. A bit sad Lindsay is not blogging anymore 🙁
My hosting company actually got bought by another company, so my options were to switch to their new service (which was crazy expensive), or find something else. Luckily, a lot of other bloggers had good recommendations for me, and I'm really happy with my new host!
Oh lawd!! I've been having a huge chocolate craving this week and this looks like it'll hit the spot. 🙂 I remember I used to have cookie cake every week growing up; I guess that's something you never outgrow. 😉
You had a fabulous childhood. 😉
Well, my goodness! I was just looking for Lisey's site two days ago when I was thinking of the frozen chocolate-dipped bananas. I did save a few recipes when her blog was active, but not that one, wouldn't you know, so I really appreciate what you're doing. =)
Your recipe today looks like just thing for 5th Sunday potluck, so double thanks!!
Aw, the little pink ballet slippers are too sweet! When my girl was little, we always got her dance shoes at Target and Payless whenever we could. (And tried to find tap shoes at Goodwill!)
Fun Fact: A friend's daughter is an actual ballerina, and her mom reports that, after years of mom and dad buying her VERY expensive gear, her dance company provide the toe shoes and collect them after every performance and (gulp) sell them to balletomanes to raise funds for the company. Sooo, tell Zoe to save those teeny slippers -- they may be worth something!!
Ok, so, I had to google to find out the meaning of balletomanes! Ha.
Oh man, I hope i used it correctly! 😉
. . .and I guess it's a really great way to support the arts. Just made me chuckle 🙂
Chocolate chip cookie in a pie -- what's not to love? I have one sibling who hates chocolate. I think my parents brought the wrong baby home from the hospital, that time, because my other sibling and I looooove it. Do you ever top the pie with anything?
I'm glad you are able to access lisey's archives, even if it's clunky. The way back machine is pretty darn cool.
Pie and chocolate chip cookies are two of my favourite treats to indulge in every so often. (But they have to be homemade... store bought is never as good) Now to be able to make a giant chocolate chip cookie that doubles as a pie?! Sounds divine.
Thank you. I would love to see the truffles moved over. The mint ones rolled in sprinkles please. I used it all the time and have never saved it.
Ooh, good to know!
I think I might have to make this soon! I have some toffee bits left from another recipe and haven't known how to use them. This sounds like the winner!
Oh boy, wait until you have to buy pointe shoes for your girls! Payless does NOT sell them. My daughter had tiny little feet and hers had to be specially ordered and specially fit--close to $100 per pair, plus accessories like toe pads and such. Also, when they get to pointe, they are usually taking about 7 hours of dance a week. We spent a lot, but were able to barter a little here and there with the studio owners for class expenses, at least.
When I buy physical books on Amazon I've mostly been buying used books. The prices are great and their rating system for the condition of the book has been reliable --I buy "very good" or "good" condition only and pay close attention to the seller's feedback. So far it has been a good experience.
Luckily, she's not advanced enough for pointe yet!
