Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 recipe chocolate chip cookie dough (prepared as per recipe, substituting mini chocolate chips for regular chocolate chips)
- Mini chocolate chips (quantity per cookie dough recipe)
Pie Crust
- 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (contains 2 crusts)
Topping
- Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cookie pies.
- Prepare Cookie Dough: Make the chocolate chip cookie dough according to your chosen recipe, specifically substituting mini chocolate chips in place of regular ones for better texture and appearance.
- Form Cookie Balls: Roll the prepared cookie dough into 18 small, evenly sized balls to ensure uniform baking.
- Cut Pie Crust Circles: Roll out the refrigerated pie crust dough and use a 3-inch diameter round cookie cutter to cut 12 circles. Re-roll the leftover dough as needed to achieve the total 12 circles.
- Assemble Cookie Pies: Line each cup of a muffin tin with one pie crust circle. Then, place one cookie dough ball inside each crust-lined cup.
- Bake Cookie Pies: Bake the assembled pies in the oven at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cookie dough is mostly cooked but remains slightly gooey inside.
- Drizzle with Chocolate Syrup: Once out of the oven, drizzle each mini pie with chocolate syrup to add extra sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Store or Bake Remaining Cookie Dough: Place the remaining 6 cookie dough balls into a freezer-safe bag to bake another day, or bake them immediately at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes to enjoy as regular cookies.
Notes
- The mini chocolate chips provide a better texture and distribution in the small cookie pie format compared to standard chips.
- Ensure the crust is properly pressed in the muffin tin to prevent shrinking during baking.
- Do not overbake; the cookie dough should remain slightly gooey in the center for optimal texture.
- Leftover cookie dough can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw before baking.
- Try adding a pinch of sea salt on top after baking for a sweet-salty flavor contrast.
