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!

Wow. This is shuffling to the top of the must-try recipe list!! – Sarah
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
Sometimes attacking a pie-like dessert with forks is the best way… and always more fun!
Blog is the New Black says
Awesome idea!
thelittleloaf says
Haha I can imagine my fiance and I would have done exactly the same, only pausing to scoop on some cold ice cream! This is such a great idea, definitely going to try soon!
Meredith says
Sounds delish! I don’t have a 6″ pie plate; think it would work in a metal 6″ cake pan? Would imhave to adjust baking time or temp.?
Christina says
Hi Meredith!
Good question! I think it would work just fine, but maybe watch it in the last 10 minutes of baking so the edges don’t get too brown. I’m guessing the metal pan will conduct more heat than glass. Good luck! :)
CJ at Food Stories says
I love revamped recipes … Looks fab :-)
Erin says
Oh yes I would totally just go after that with a fork. YUM.
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
Nate will literally die of happiness. like, for real :)
Cookbook Queen says
Cookies are always better when they are combined into one GIANT PIE.
Perfect for ONE GIANT PREGNANT LADY!!!!
Christina says
You are not giant! You are cute & petite with a pregnant belly. :)
Sommer@ASpicyPerspective says
So this means I have to make two of them if any one else wants a bite, because this bad boy is all for me! ;)
Elaine @ Cooking to Perfection says
I love that you dug in with two forks. That’s the way to do it! And I would have gone straight for the gooey center…yum!
Stephanie says
I love this idea! I always freeze cookie dough, but sometimes I want just enough for me! Thanks. =)
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
I need to get in on the cookie cake thing! And yeah, there would be no slicing of that happening over here either.
Jessica@AKitchenAddiction says
My husband and I would be the same way! No need to waste time cutting it into pieces! :)
Cassie | Bake Your Day says
Pretty sure I could eat the whole thing by myself. The top looks so perfectly chewy!
Georgia @ The Comfort of Cooking says
This would make for one amazing breakfast… er, dessert! :)
Elizabeth says
I love oversize chocolate chip cookies!
Honey What's Cooking says
this pie looks lovely.. i’m bookmarking it. i don’t own a 6 inch dish, but i will pick 1 up just to make this. love hte little desserts you make… so perfect without indulging too much. do you know how many servings this makes? 4 or 6?
Julie @ Table for Two says
love oversize cookies!! more to love and more to eat..yay!! this is seriously perfect for ME and me only – hahaha
Julia {The Roasted Root} says
I’d take a fork and go straight to the middle! I love gooey fresh out of the oven cookies and I can only imagine this bad boy is super moist and chewy in the middle. And the crisp around the edges looks perfect! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Lauren@LittleYellowKitchen says
Wow! Sounds and looks fantasticly ooey gooey. I definitely would have skipped neatly plated slices too.
Karly says
Don’t mind if I do.
Kate@Diethood says
Oh my gosh!!! I’ll take one chocolate chip cookie cake with a bucket of vanilla ice cream!!
Heather {ModernMealsforTwo} says
I think a few other mentioned this, but I would like to echo the fact that your proportions may be off on this recipe. This is totally a cookie cake for one ;) Just kidding (not really.)
Christina says
Hah, Heather! You cracked me up! This is definitely a dessert I could eat all in one sitting by myself. The only reason I shared it is because I’m in love. If I didn’t have such strong feelings for him, I would have waited until he has asleep and ate the whole thing myself! ;)
Heather {ModernMealsforTwo} says
Ha! That’s true love! :)
Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious says
I wouldn’t be able to slice this up all nice and eat it either! Eating it out of the pan tastes so much better anyway!
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe says
Cookie cakes are my weakness. I would totally hover over the hot cookie, covered in melty ice cream, shoveling it in my face as quickly as possible, hopefully without burning all of my taste buds off. Dreamy.
Carlas Confections says
HAHA, isnt that exactly how it is suppose to be eaten ;) It really looks awesome!
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts says
Underbake it, top it with ice cream straight from the oven, and you have my favorite dessert ever!
Love anything with chocolate chip cookies as a part of it!
Becca - Cookie Jar Treats says
Wanna know something sad? If I made this as is (in the 6 inch skillet and all I would probably eat 1/2 or maybe even 3/4 of it.
This looks absolutely phenomenal though. I love cookies that have been baked in round tins and whatnot. I feel they are chewier than normal cookies.
AnnaG says
ok –so if you used the recipe for 1 dozen cookies — and this is a cake for two — that equals 6 cookies per person, right? wahoo! — that’s a chocolate chip cookie serving that deserves some respect! :)
claire @ the realistic nutritionist says
Yes. for the win. cookies in cake form = heaven.
Katie | The Hill Country Cook says
CHRISTINA!!!! This is my husband’s favorite!!! I’ll have to do this, this is what he requests for his birthday in lieu of cake!!
BTW, I’m featuring your tenders and mac and cheese on a top ten comfort foods list this week!
Looks GOOD, like always!
Peace, Love, and Baking honey!
Kimby says
Christina, your description of hovering over the oven made me laugh! That’s as much convincing as I needed to make this. (Not that I need much convincing…) Congrats on being featured on TK, too. :)
Let Me Eat Cake says
mmm i can almost taste it already! with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream i want this now!
Shannon @ TheDrinkBuzz says
What a GREAT idea… this recipe looks awesome and I’m going to have to make it. Chococlate chips cookies are my favorite :)
Sandy says
I made this with white whole wheat flour. It was wonderful! Thank you!
leslie says
cutting it all nice and pretty is totally overrated!!!!! I’d attack it too!
