Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Still getting around to posting all of our Thanksgiving treats, and this was one of my favorites. Even though I will probably get flack from my family for saying this, I'm seriously not a big fan of pies...unless they involve cherries....or chocolate....so when I saw this one, I knew it was right up my alley. This was so simple to prepare. I made it Thanksgiving morning and served it room temperature for lunch. I refrigerated it overnight and we had the leftovers the next day, and I almost liked it better cold. Either way...good stuff!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

You will need:

-1 unbaked pie crust (I used a deep dish frozen pie crust...I let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes to thaw while I was getting everything prepared)

-2 eggs

-1/2 cup flour

-small pinch of salt

-1/2 cup sugar

-1/2 cup packed brown sugar (I used light brown)

-3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

-1 cup (60z) semi sweet chocolate morsels (plus more for drizzling)

-1/2 cup chopped pecans

*Preheat oven to 325

*Beat the eggs on high until foamy

*Beat in the flour, pinch of salt, and both the sugars

*Beat in the butter (you will have a few specks of butter left in the batter, this is fine)

*Stir in chocolate chips and nuts

*Spoon into pie crust and bake for 55-60 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

For drizzle topping:

*In a microwaveable bowl, melt 1/4 cup chocolate morsels and 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil

*Stir until smooth and pour into a small ziploc bag

*Snip off a tiny tip of the bag and drizzle over pie
