Are you kidding me right now!? Chocolate chip cookie PIE (made the easy way)! Oh yes, more please.
Would you like to save this?
We'll email this recipe to you, so you can come back to it later!
I’ve been going on and on recently about how homemade pie crust is just so fabulous and awesome and how all the cool kids are doing it.
Then I went to the store and bought some refrigerated pie dough. Don’t judge me. Sometimes I’m lazy.
Speaking of lazy, I also bought refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough.
Could I be any more of a cheater pants? I think not.
This little treat is beyond simple to make, assuming you’re lazy and cheaty like me. Things will be a bit more time consuming if you decide to go all Martha Stewart up in here, but it will all still be simple, everyday, anyone can do it steps to creating these adorable little mini pies.
I’ve always had a thing for mini foods. My parents always brings me back the mini bottles of ketchup and mayo they get from room service when they go on vacation. They usually spring for a little something extra, too, but the mini condiments are always a favorite.
Nope, you can’t have one chocolate chip cookie pie. You can have lots of them, you need lots of them!
You know why mini foods are so fabulous? Because they’re very tricky. You look at them and think “Oh, how cute! I’m going to eat one of those!”
So you eat one.
Then you look at the rest of the little mini things still on the plate and you think “Hmm, they’re so small. I’ll just have another.”
So you eat two.
Then you look at the plate and they are still just so adorable and, let’s be honest, you tummy can hold a lot more than 2 mini food items, so you say to yourself, “Oh, who cares. Miniature foods don’t even have room for calories!”
So you eat three.
I’m going to stop there before I embarrass myself, but you should know that the above scenario continues for quite a while. So you eat four, so you eat five, so you eat six…you get the idea. It just keeps on going.
These little pies are fabulous. I’m not a big fan of pie crust, so I wasn’t sure I’d love these. Something magical happens though and the sweetness from the cookie dough turns the pie crust into something amazing. Sweet, flaky, and all kinds of amazing.
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookie Pies
Ingredients
- 2 9-inch pie crusts store bought or homemade
- Chocolate Chip Cookie dough 1 recipe homemade or 1 tube store bought
- Water, for sealing the edges
- Sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove your pie dough from the package and give it a quick roll to flatten it out just a bit. If using a homemade dough, roll it into 2 large circles about 1/4 inch thick and 9 inches in diameter.
- Using a 3 1/2 inch round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut circles from the dough. Re-roll the dough as needed to cut circles from the dough, about 16 dough circles total.
- Place 1-2 heaping tablespoons of dough in the center of half of the pie dough circles.
- Brush the edges of the pie dough with water and place the remaining pie dough circles on top.
- Use your fingers to press and seal the edges or use a fork to crimp them together.
- Brush the tops with a little water and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm.

Some of you raving about how good this recipe is, and by your comments haven’t tried it yet, should try it first before saying how good it must be. It’s very bland and tasteless. The part in the middle where the cookie dough is is good. The outer part, where no cookie dough is, is as tasty as cardboard. A good portion of this “pie” is totally tasteless. The “pies” I made were only 3 inches round, as opposed to the 3.5 inches the recipes says, and I added more dough than the recipe calls for, and it still wasn’t enough to provide enough flavor. Don’t waste your time and ingredients on this recipe.

Sorry you didn’t enjoy these. The part without cookie dough will definitely taste like pie crust, so if you’re not a fan of that, these wouldn’t be for you.

I had some leftover pie crust and I used it today to make peanut butter chocolate hand pies; I wish I had seen this earlier and I totally would’ve made these instead 🙁 will definitely use this later!

OMG… these look so delish…. and a dangerous treat to have around…. yummmy….
Claire says
You should dip the tops of these in chocolate to make them prettier (and chocolate never hurt anything, right?)

Or it might just be me. (Never mind!)

Psst – When I click on the “print” button for the choco chip pies, the butterfinger recipe comes up.

packaged pie dough is my very good friend. 🙂
Erin says
These look so cute! I agree that I am not a big fan of pie crust normally (depending on the pie of course), but I’d be interesting to see what happens with these!
Joanne says
I’m totally infamous for this mentality. It’s just that sometimes the plate looks so BIG and FULL and those mini items look so small and scared! They’ll be much safer in my tummy.
Hannah says
Have you ever tried the cookie dough pop tart? This looks like a much better and homemade version. Props.
Erin says
Sometimes you just gotta get that dessert from your brain and into your belly as fast as possible! I don’t judge you at all.

Joanna says
Such a cute idea! Now I’m thinking of all different kinds of fillings… I’m on the lookout for Halloween party ideas for my students at school!
Miss says
Love it! Great idea that must taste amazing.
Cara says
I love the idea of these pies! Can’t wait to try them!
