Prepare the pie crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form an even crust.
Bake the crust for about 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
Prepare the cookie dough filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
Gradually whisk in the flour until well blended. The mixture will be thick.
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until smooth.
Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Assemble the Pie:
Once the pie crust has chilled, spread the cookie dough mixture into the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Optional: Top with mini chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt for added texture and flavor.
Chill the Pie:
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the filling to set.
Serve:
Cut and enjoy! The pie is delicious served cold, and the cookie dough filling has a rich, indulgent texture.
Tips for Success:
Make sure the butter is softened, not melted, to ensure the cookie dough filling has the right texture.
Use room temperature ingredients for best mixing results. Let the pie cool long enough for the filling to set: this is essential for achieving the perfect texture.
If you prefer a firmer filling, add a little more flour (about 2 tablespoons) to the pastry mixture.
The pie crust can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to fill.
Recommendations:
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce for an even more indulgent treat.
If you’re serving a large crowd, consider making mini pies using individual tartlet pans.
