Pie & cookies…. two of my favorite things. Put them together and you’ve got the best dessert on the thanksgiving table. When I was a kid, my dad sometimes made a cookie pie for thanksgiving. This pie reminds me of home. It reminds me of being a kid and eating as much as I could fit in my stomach. It was super chocolatey and gooey and just downright amazing.
You don’t need a fancy mixer or expensive baking tools to make this. A simple whisk and a bowl will do. What I love about this is how little effort you have to put into it. You can pretty much prep it all in under 10 minutes and have it ready to go into the oven. I know this isn’t your typical festive thanksgiving pie… but I promise you it’s better. If you love chocolate and cookies… chances are this is the pie for you.
I used a homemade pie crust but feel free to use store-bought or frozen. (Linked below) Whatever is easiest for you, do that! Thanksgiving can be stressful and you don’t need to make everything from scratch. Store-bought dough is great and no one will even know the difference!
