Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 package graham cracker crumbs

- ¼ cup granulated sugar
For the Cookie Dough Filling
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–4 tablespoons milk or cream (for consistency)
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Topping
- 1 cup whipped cream

Step-by-Step Instructions
Heat-Treat the Flour
Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Allow the flour to cool completely before using. This step ensures the filling is safe to eat.
Make the Crust
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a pie dish. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add Flavoring
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Add the Flour
Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour and mix until just combined. The mixture should resemble soft cookie dough.
Adjust Texture
Add milk or cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is creamy and spreadable but not sticky.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Assemble the Pie
Press the cookie dough filling evenly into the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill
Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Finish and Serve
Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top and garnish with extra chocolate chips or sprinkles if desired.
