Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup brown sugar, packed
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or your choice)
Equipment Needed
– 9-inch pie dish
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer (optional, but recommended)
– Rubber spatula
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Parchment paper (optional for easy cleanup)
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, I cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial because it allows the sugars to dissolve into the butter, creating a wonderfully smooth batter that will yield a soft, chewy cookie pie. After about 2-3 minutes of mixing, I crack in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. The batter should be rich and smooth at this point, filling my kitchen with that irresistible sweet scent. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
