Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie Recipe for Gooey Cookie Perfection

Have you ever made Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie? It’s amazing, because it has a warm, gooey middle and a crackly (like brownies) top. If you’re a sucker for a classic chocolate chip cookie but also have a major sweet tooth for pie, this chocolate chip cookie pie is about to become your new go-to dessert. It’s basically a giant cookie baked right into a flaky pie crust, and honestly? Life-changing.

I make a lot of pies around here (check out all of my pie recipes here), but this tollhouse pie is hands-down one of my favorite pies for special occasions, lazy Sundays, or literally any time I need a crowd-pleasing dessert in under an hour. It’s also known as the original recipe straight from the Toll House Inn, so you know it’s legit.

What’s In This Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie?

Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy pie recipe: a frozen pie crust, store-bought pie crust, or homemade crust (your choice — I won’t judge!), large eggs, purpose flour, brown sugar, white sugar, melted butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips, and chopped nuts if you’re feeling fancy. That’s it! This chocolate chip cookie dough filling comes together in one large mixing bowl, no electric mixer or high speed beating required.

How To Make This Chocolate Chip Pie Recipe

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. In a large mixer bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly foamy, then mix in the flour, sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk in the melted butter last (never pour hot butter straight into eggs — scrambled eggs are great for breakfast, not pie!). Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Press your deep dish pie shell or unbaked pie shell into a 4-cup capacity pie pan, pour in the filling, and bake for 55-60 minutes until golden brown. The middle of the pie may stay slightly jiggly, but the outside edge should pass the toothpick test.

Once it’s out of the oven, set the pie on a wire rack and let the pie cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing — I know, I know, patience is hard when gooey chocolate chip cookies are calling your name. If you love this one, you’ll probably also love my Nestle Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe or my America’s Test Kitchen Chocolate Chip Cookies for more of that same cookie magic in a different form.

Homemade Pie Crust Recipes

I love using a premade pie crust, because I’m all about the filling (the crust just doesn’t do it for me)! But if you’re a big fan of homemade crusts, here are three of my favorite simple homemade pie crust recipes that you really can’t mess up.

Pie Troubleshooting Quick Guide

My crust is cracking when I roll it. It’s either too dry or too cold. When using a refrigerated or frozen pie crust, be sure it’s thawed enough to feel pliable (not quite room temperature, but close). If it’s homemade and dry, work in a teaspoon of cold water at a time. Cracks around the edges? Just press them back together as you roll.

My pie filling is bubbling over. Don’t overfill the crust, and make sure your pie form is deep enough. If you’ve overfilled it anyway, set the pie dish on a baking sheet or cookie sheet before sliding it into the oven, and loosely tent the top of the pie with aluminum foil if it’s browning too fast.

Serving Your Tollhouse Cookie Pie

This is the kind of decadent dessert that deserves a little ceremony. For the first time you make it, try a small slice warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting right into that gooey center — pure magic. A glass of cold milk works wonders too, especially the next day when the pie’s had a chance to set up. This tollhouse cookie pie keeps beautifully, so don’t be shy about making it ahead for a crowd. It’s gone viral on social media more than once, and once you taste it, you’ll see why it has a long way to go before it gets old.

Ingredients

• unbaked, deep dish-capacity pie crust
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate!)
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, but good!)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
2. Whisk eggs until slightly foamy, and then mix in the: flour, sugar, brown sugar.
3. Whisk in the melted butter (this needs to come after the other ingredients just to make sure you aren't pouring hot butter directly into eggs, because then you'd have scrambled eggs!).
4. Stir in the chocolate chips and then the nuts.
5. Press the pie crust into a 4-cup capacity pie dish.
6. Pour the batter into the crust and bake for 55-60 minutes. When it's done, the center may be slightly jiggly. But the outer two inches of the pie should pass the toothpick test. If it doesn't, continue to bake in 5 minute increments until done.
