I'll just come right out and say it: this is my favorite recipe on the site so far. And it's not even really a new recipe: I took my recipe for 1 dozen chocolate chip cookies, pressed the dough into my grandmother's 6" pie pan and baked it for 30 minutes. It's perfect as-is, but you could decorate it with chocolate frosting (like those cookie cakes at the mall), or you could top it with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream right when it comes out of the oven.
I wish I could say I sliced it neatly like a pie and ate it on a pretty plate, but we did not. We hovered over the oven and attacked it with 2 forks as soon as the timer went off. The center is perfectly gooey like a soft-baked cookie while the edges set up nicely.
I know you'll enjoy this one. Go on, make it!

If this recipe was doubled, do you think it could be baked in a 9 inch pie dish?
Christina Lane says
Hmmm...I think so! I haven't tried it, but it should work. Just watch the baking time.
Lee says
I think bake time needs to be adjusted. I baked for 20 minutes and a little over done.. glad I checked at 20 minutes.
Becki says
could you just use more butter instead of shortening?
Christina Lane says
Sure, I think so, but I'm not positive.

I don't know why, but this seems to bake WAY faster in my oven than the recommended 30-33 minutes. The first time I made it, I didn't check its progress and just took it out at 30 minutes... It was burnt. Saved it by scraping off the black edges and piling vanilla ice cream on top, but made mental note to self to not burn it next time. Second time, I monitored and it looked done at 19 minutes, so I hauled it out... Delicious! I will be making this again and again.
