Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie – Guest Post from Jen’s Favorite Cookies
This Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie is one of the best things ever! Probably because it’s like having a chocolate chip cookie in a pie crust.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Hey there! I’m Jen from Jen’s Favorite Cookies, and I’m thrilled to be chatting with all the amazing Cupcakes and Kale Chips fans today! There are a few things you should know about me. I’m a wife, and mom of three teens. I’m a dog lover and cat hater. I have never used the phrase “This is too chocolatey.” And I love cookies. I’ve even dedicated my blog to simple recipes for cookies, desserts, and snacks. But mostly cookies.
MY LATEST VIDEOSMy family is always complaining that I never make the same thing twice. I make 2-3 new desserts every week, so it’s always something different and fresh. Each family member has their own idea of what they want me to make again.
My middle child has been begging for homemade banana pudding layered with chocolate sheet cake and whipped cream. He mentions it about once a week.
My husband wants me to re-create the Cherries Jubilee cookies I made for him a while back.
But me, if I was to remake my favorite dessert, what would I make? Actually, I have a list about 20 items long. Welcome to my world. But this pie definitely makes the list. It’s so awesome, with chocolate chips and pecans and pie crust!
If you are into making your own pie crust, I say go for it. I actually use this crust recipe from Emeril Lagasse to make mine. It’s totally flaky and delicious.
While I can make a really delicious pie crust, what I cannot do is make a beautiful one. I think there’s something wrong with me. I cannot make a pie crust look nice to save my life. It always looks like my 7-year-old nephew made it. Actually, he would probably do a better job than me.
Therefore, I use a frozen crust. I call for a frozen crust in the recipe, but don’t let that stop you from making a fresh homemade crust. Then fill that baby with this pecan and chocolate chip goodness and eat it warm.
Trust me!

March 12, 2019 at 9:50 amDo I need to let the crust thaw out at all .
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
March 26, 2019 at 2:08 pmI would check the directions on the crust you buy, as they may vary.
Laura says
October 18, 2018 at 11:49 amI doubled the recipe. When it came to the nuts, however, I used 1c pecans for one pie; and 1c walnuts for the other. I followed the recipe but it looked it was not fully cooked through. Aah! Also, is there a need to refrigerate afterwards? Thanks
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
October 19, 2018 at 10:20 amThis was a guest post on my site, so I am not super familiar with the recipe, but I am wondering how it set up after you let it cool. Given that it’s a cookie-type filling, you probably don’t need to refrigerate if you are eating with a couple days.
Meghan says
March 10, 2018 at 9:24 amThis pie is so good. Got many compliments. I made it exactly as directed. I am making it again today! Not like a cookie texture, but more like a gooey, buttery cookie…soooo good! Thanks for the recipe.
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
March 12, 2018 at 11:43 amThank you, Meghan. I’m so glad you enjoyed the pie recipe!
Judy Kay says
February 27, 2018 at 7:43 pmI have made this pie many, many times and it always turns out great. Took it to lots of covered dish dinners to have people tell me I should sell it. The one thing I changed for family consumption was using milk chocolate chips due to less acidity, worked fine.
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
February 28, 2018 at 7:55 amI’m so happy to hear that you like the recipe, Judy. Thank you for your comment and rating!
Debi says
January 14, 2018 at 11:48 amI have been making this for years and it is the BEST pie ever! Actually it is one of the pies that I bake that I eat!
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
January 15, 2018 at 9:39 amI’m so glad that you love the recipe, Debi! Isn’t it wonderful when we can find recipes that we love to eat as much as we love to create? 🙂

May 8, 2017 at 9:01 amI used this recipe this past weekend for a Kentucky Derby get-together, and it turned out great! I made only one minor change to the recipe, however. Instead of adding a full cup of granulated sugar, I mixed together a half a cup of granulated sugar and half a cup of light brown sugar to give it a bit more of a chocolate chip cookie taste. I used a traditional 9″ frozen pie crust–Walmart’s store brand–and it worked perfectly. The deep dish would have been too deep. I simply allowed the crust to thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes, pierced the bottom of the crust throughout with a fork, poured in the filling, and baked it as the recipe shows. I didn’t have any run-over or mess. Thanks for sharing! This recipe is still very helpful even three years after you first posted it.
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
May 8, 2017 at 2:19 pmBobby, your adaptions to the chocolate chip cookie pie sound absolutely delicious! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the recipe.
Joyce says
November 18, 2016 at 8:13 pmLove this pie, thanks for sharing
Brian says
October 30, 2016 at 10:20 pmCooked as instructed, still runny after an hour. Any suggestions for cooking this at altitude?
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
November 1, 2016 at 12:02 pmI’m sorry, I don’t really know about high altitude baking. I’ve lived on the East Coast my whole life. Here’s some tips from Betty Crocker – http://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/tipslibrary/baking-tips/baking-cooking-high-altitudes. It sounds like it might require more adjustments than simply changing the baking time and temperature.
Denise says
May 17, 2018 at 10:23 pmMaybe it’s the butter you are using. Try something else. It’s a GREAT pie and you will love it. Don’t give up 🙂
Haley says
July 15, 2016 at 9:59 amIs this made in a deep dish pie crust or regular size?
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
September 7, 2016 at 7:39 pmHaley, this recipe uses a regular prepared frozen pie crust.
John V. Karavitis says
June 25, 2016 at 2:29 pmThere is pie crust on top too, right?
John V. Karavitis
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
September 7, 2016 at 7:47 pmNo, sir. This is a one-crust pie. There isn’t a top crust.
Ann says
June 10, 2016 at 7:56 amI got this exact recipe for Derby Pie when I lived in Louisville for graduate school over 40 years ago. It has been my family’s favorite all of these years. I thaw the deep dish crust and poke the holes with a fork then put it in the pre-heated oven for about 5-7 minutes while I am mixing it up. It is so easy to mix up I always make 2 and put one in the freezer. It freezes great. And of course it is always better served warm with vanilla ice cream. You can microwave it to warm it up if needed. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as my family has. This is one recipe that will be passed on to the future generations in our family.
Tyler says
May 27, 2016 at 10:46 amAs a note and I am not a hater… I love this pie. but the Official Kentucky Derby organization has Copyright on the title of this pie. It cannot be label Kentucky Derby pie… you can call it raceway pie, or any sort of derivative… but not that. Just FYI…
Katie says
May 5, 2016 at 11:22 amAny feedback on whether to thaw the frozen pie crust before filling? I want to make this for the derby this weekend! Thank you!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
May 7, 2016 at 1:50 pmI would follow the package instructions as all might vary.
Kaitlyn Maloney says
March 17, 2016 at 3:04 pmHi! I’m making this today. The only way I have ever had this pie was with bourbon in the recipe. Do you have a suggestion for that?
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
May 7, 2016 at 1:50 pmI’m so sorry I didn’t see your question, but no, unfotunately I have not used bourbon in this recipe.
John V. Karavitis says
June 25, 2016 at 2:29 pmHow much bourbon would one use? And which brand?
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
September 7, 2016 at 7:47 pmJohn, there is no bourbon called for in this recipe.
Greg Morgan says
February 22, 2016 at 3:28 pmWhat kind of choc. chips did you use, Semi-Sweet, or Milk Choc?
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
February 23, 2016 at 10:59 amThese are semisweet, but you can use your favorite.
Mary says
May 2, 2015 at 2:44 pmI’m not much of a cook, but this recipe sounds to good to miss. Since the recipe calls for a frozen crust, do you fill and bake it frozen, or do you thaw the crust first?
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
May 3, 2015 at 7:24 amIt probably depends on the package instructions. I can ask Jen who contributed this recipe. I have not used frozen crust.
Courtney says
November 17, 2016 at 9:34 pmHas this been answered? Planning to make for TG so need to check. Thanks!!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
November 17, 2016 at 10:24 pmPlease check the directions on the crust you purchase. Most say they need to be thawed, but it can vary by brand.
Melissa says
November 22, 2017 at 12:08 pmAh! I didn’t even check. I hope the pie turns out. I just threw it in the oven straight from the freezer. Making it for Thanksgiving tomorrow!
Loren says
May 2, 2015 at 9:56 amGetting ready to make this! Just wanted to make sure on the pie crust…do I need to pop it in the oven first or just bake with the ingredients? Thanks
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
May 3, 2015 at 7:22 amSorry, I was out with my family. Did you figure it out? It probably depends on the package instructions, but I can ask Jen who contributed this recipe.
Katie says
March 14, 2015 at 3:04 pmThis is such a throwback to childhood! My pie is in the oven right now! FYI, I think it needs a deep dish crust!! It might be good to specify since I got a regular frozen one and had to throw a pan in the oven underneath because it’s dripping the filling everywhere…
I’m sure it’ll still be delicious though…
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
March 14, 2015 at 3:08 pmOh no, I’ll make a note, thanks! Enjoy!
Katie Willingham says
March 14, 2015 at 10:39 pmFlavors were exactly right, though! A true pi(e) day success!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
March 15, 2015 at 9:54 amYay, so glad!
Tammy says
November 21, 2018 at 11:19 amI just made this and I am having the same issue its dripping all out of the pan, makes me so upset, I got a frozen pie shell follwed the diredtions to a T… I hope it taste good and that I can make it look presentable, will think twice before making this pie again…😢
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
November 26, 2018 at 9:22 pmHi Tammy. I’m so sorry this recipe didn’t work out for you. A contributor created this recipe for my site, so I don’t have personal experience with it. But perhaps the pie crust you purchased did not have the same capacity. Maybe you’d need a deep dish crust or split it between two crusts.
Laura says
March 10, 2015 at 7:59 amCan I use a deep dish frozen pie? Do I need to double the ingredients?
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
March 14, 2015 at 3:09 pmI don’t think you’ll need to double the ingredients.
Christina says
March 4, 2015 at 7:25 pmInstead of vanilla I used coconut extract and for the pecans I used coconut because I don’t care for pecans and it was so delicious! My kids loved it!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
March 4, 2015 at 10:43 pmOh wow!! That sounds amazing!
Margaret says
May 6, 2016 at 1:56 pmThat sounds Amazing. . .I’m not to keen on Nuts either…Thanks for the idea…How much Coconut did you use ?
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
May 7, 2016 at 1:46 pmThere’s no coconut in this recipe, but you can certainly try adding some.
Jennifer says
February 13, 2015 at 8:53 amThis looks amazing!!! Is this a regular pie crust or a deep dish pie crust?
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
February 22, 2015 at 5:23 amIt is a regular pie crust.
Melissa says
November 22, 2017 at 12:07 pmI’ve got mine in the oven right now and a regular pie crust is overflowing. I’ve got a drip pan beneath it, but next time I will be using a deep dish!
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
November 27, 2017 at 10:03 amI’m so sorry that happened to you, Melissa. I hope you enjoy the cookie pie recipe.
angie says
February 3, 2015 at 7:07 amWhat type of flour is used?
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
February 8, 2015 at 6:43 amRegular all purpose flour
Kelli's Kitchen says
July 24, 2014 at 10:29 pmMy husband asked me today to make him a chocolate chip cookie pie – and I knew he meant Kentucky Derby Pie – so thanks to you and Jen both for having this recipe! Pinned and making tomorrow!!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
July 25, 2014 at 8:44 amPerfect timing!
Auntiepatch says
July 22, 2014 at 7:43 pmCat HATER?!? Really???
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
July 27, 2014 at 6:52 amI guess to each his/her own, right?! I’m allergic, so I’m not personally a huge fan either. But let’s talk about pie! 🙂
Kayle (The Cooking Actress) says
July 22, 2014 at 10:14 amI have the same problem with re-making things (or…more exactly…not remaking things)! This pie def. looks repeat-able, I mean….YUM!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
July 27, 2014 at 6:54 amI know! I like to keep trying new stuff too!
