Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 4-5 tablespoons ice water
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, akin to small peas.
2. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together but isn't sticky. Shape it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
4. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it into the corners.
5. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Combine the baking powder and salt with the flour. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
8. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly gooey.
9. Cool: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
