This recipe was a through back to the cookie cake why not make a chocolate chip cookie pie. This is a new recipe I’m trying, not my regular chocolate chip cookie recipe. It turned out nicely...lol although I think I will use my recipe next time.

½ t baking powder
1 sticks butter, softened
¾ c packed light brown sugar
¼ c sugar
2  lg eggs
½ T vanilla

1 c pecans




 Preheat 350 butter - 1 (9 inch) pie plate set aside


In large bowl sift together flour, salt, baking soda, & powder. In mixer cream together butter, brown sugar & sugar. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well, add vanilla, then add flour mixture mix until fully combined. Add choc chips & nut place dough in pie plates and smooth the tops with hand or spatula.


Bake about 30 -40 mins or until pie is golden and slightly firm to the touch but still soft. If pies begin to darken too much before they are baked through, cover w/foil and continue baking. Let pie cool then drizzle with chocolate ganache

melt altogether in microwave stir and drizzle...

Pecan Pie

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

2 Tbsp butter, melted

1 t. vanilla extract

1 unbaked 9” deep dish pie crust

or

1 pillsbury pie crust unfold and place in pie dish


Preheat oven 350
