FAQs

Can I use store-bought cookie dough?

Yes! For a shortcut, press store-bought cookie dough into the pie pan and bake according to package instructions, adjusting the time as needed for the deep dish.

How do I know when the cookie pie is done?

The edges should be golden brown, and the center should be slightly soft. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out clean.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, use a gluten-free flour blend that substitutes 1:1 with all-purpose flour.

Can I add other mix-ins?

Absolutely! Try adding caramel bits, white chocolate chips, or M&Ms for extra fun.

Can I bake this in a skillet?

Yes, use a well-greased cast-iron skillet for a similar result and bake at the same temperature.

Can I reduce the sugar?

Yes, but reducing sugar too much may affect the texture. Start by reducing ¼ cup and adjust to taste.

What’s the best chocolate to use?

Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips balance the sweetness best, but milk chocolate or white chocolate chips can be used for a sweeter result.

How do I make it extra gooey?

Bake for a shorter time (around 25 minutes) and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! You can make the dough in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

What should I serve with cookie pie?

It pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
