    What Ingredients do I need to make Tollhouse Cookie Pie?

    Ingredients to make Tollhouse cookie pie

    Let’s start by gathering the ingredients we need to make Toll House Cookie Pie. In Chef Speak this is called the “Mise en Place” which translates to “Everything in its Place”.

    Not only does setting your ingredients up ahead of time speed up the cooking process, it also helps ensure you have everything you need to make the dish.

    This is one of my favorite chocolate chip dessets along with my insanely delicious triple chocolate brownies and my chocolate chip cheesecake bars.

    Do I have to use walnuts in the cookie pie?

    No, you do not. You can use pecans instead of walnuts or you can leave the walnuts out and add another type of chip. If you do omit the nuts completey add and additional one-quarter cup of flour to the mix, bringing the flour total to one cup.

    The nuts do add stabilty to the toll house cookie pie, and if you leave them out you will definitley need to chill it to let it set up.

    • Add the eggs to the bowl of your stand mixer or a large mixing bowl.
    • Whip the eggs for 3 minutes until foamy.
    • Add the brown sugar and white sugar to the eggs.
    • Mix the sugars into the egg mixture.
    • Add the room temperature butter to the mixture.

    • Add the flour to the mixing bowl.
    • Mix the flour into the mixture using the beater bar of the mixer. Mix just until incorporated.
    • Add the walnuts and chocolate chips to the batter.
    • Mix just enough to blend in the chips and nuts.
    • Pour the batter into the pie shell. Smooth the filling with a rubber spatula.
    • Bake for 50-55 minutes or until firm in the center. *Don’t worry it will look like it is getting too dark, its just the top crisping up. If you prefer a lighter top, cover it with foil when it begins to darken.

    When finished baking, let the pie cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack (or for as long as you can wait) and top with ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy!

    I promise not to tell if you sample a little of the chocolate chip cookie dough, the creamy richness of a brown sugar base makes it’s OMG delicious.

    I like using semi-sweet chocolate chips, but feel free to use your favorite chip or combination of chocolate chips.
