What Ingredients do I need to make Tollhouse Cookie Pie?

Easy Toll House Cookie Pie Recipe (3)

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 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.

  • Add the flour to the mixing bowl and using the beater bar of the mixer, mix just until incorporated. Don't over mix!

    *If you let the pie chill for 2 hours or more it will set up very nicely and become more solid. I like it still a little warm but it's still delicious when it's chilled.

    If I make it ahead of time for Thanksgiving, how long would you put in the oven for so it’s warm to serve but not over cooked and dry? Would you cover it the entire time?

    Reply

    • Chef Dennis Littley

      Thaw overnight in the fridge. To warm cover loosely with foil and place in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.

    I’ve made a similar pie before but always blind baked a standard pastry crust. Does the crust you use become flaky/crisp during baking? I’d love saving a step and trying a new base option if so!

    Reply

    • Chef Dennis Littley

      the crust isn’t going to be flaky, the bottom will get a little crisp but it won’t be the same as blind baking the crust first.

    What size of pie plate was used? I had a hard time getting the crust into my 9″ plate without being too thin and the cookie batter didn’t seem to be enough.

      I used a standard 9 inch pie pan, was yours a deep dish pie pan? I have a few of those and they would definitely come up short.

    Oh man this recipe is so nostalgic for me I love it!! My mom used to make something like this but your version is more soft inside which I like. And I really appreciate that you included the modification for not adding nuts (since I am allergic!).
