Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie (Print Version)

Pumpkin meets chocolate chip in a buttery crust for a luscious, comforting dessert. Ideal for gatherings and autumn feasts.

# Components:

→ Crust

01 - 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust, homemade or store-bought

→ Pumpkin Filling

02 - 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
03 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
07 - 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/3 cup heavy cream
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Chocolate Chip Cookie Layer

11 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
12 - 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
13 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
14 - 1 large egg
15 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
17 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
18 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
19 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange the unbaked 9-inch pie crust in a pie dish; set aside.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, egg, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Reserve.
03 - In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or whisk to cream softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until incorporated.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to creamed butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips gently.
05 - Pour pumpkin filling evenly into the prepared pie crust. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the pumpkin layer and gently spread to cover most of the surface; cookie dough will expand during baking.
06 - Place pie dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cookie layer is golden brown and set. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out mostly clean.
07 - Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before slicing. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm as desired.
