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!

Sometimes attacking a pie-like dessert with forks is the best way... and always more fun!

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!

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! :)

This looks amazing! I don't have a small pie plate, but I do have a 6.5" cast iron skillet. Any advice about adjustments to temp or time with the skillet?
