Description
A rich and chewy peanut butter cookie pie loaded with melty chocolate chips and chunks of peanut butter cups, delivering a perfect blend of gooey sweetness and nutty flavor.
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, stirring just until incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanut butter cups evenly throughout the dough.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pie dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and golden, but the center remains slightly soft.
- Allow the cookie pie to cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure it sets properly.
- Serve with milk or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
For extra crunch, add chopped peanuts or pecans.
Swap semisweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips as preferred.
Try swirling caramel sauce before baking or drizzle melted peanut butter/chocolate on top after baking.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
Reheat slices in microwave for 15-20 seconds for a soft, gooey texture.
Natural peanut butter can be used but expect different texture and flavor.
Substitute peanut butter cups with extra chocolate chips or chopped Reese’s Pieces if unavailable.
Make gluten-free by using a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
Dough can be prepared ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking; bring to room temperature before baking.
