Ingredients

For the Crust

1 package graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
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
Additional chocolate chips or sprinkles (optional)

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.

How to Serve

Serve chilled for clean, neat slices
Pair with coffee, milk, or hot chocolate
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence
Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for a bakery-style finish

Additional Tips

Mini chocolate chips work best for even distribution
Don’t skip heat-treating the flour for food safety
Chill longer if you prefer firmer slices
Use a springform pan for easy removal
