  • Let it cool completely before adding filling.

2. Heat-Treat the Flour

  • Spread flour on a baking tray.

5. Assemble the Pie

  • Add cookie dough filling evenly on top.
  • Smooth the surface.

6. Chill

🍽️ Methods & Tips

  • No-Bake Style: Skip baking after assembly—this pie sets in the fridge.
  • Texture Tip: Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty finish.
  • Serving Tip: Let it sit 10 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.

📜 History & Inspiration

Cookie dough desserts became popular in the late 20th century when people fell in love with sneaking bites of raw dough while baking cookies. Over time, creative bakers turned that guilty pleasure into safe-to-eat treats like edible cookie dough and eventually pies like this one—combining classic American dessert traditions into one irresistible creation.

🧁 Formation (How It Comes Together)

This pie forms in three delicious layers:

  1. A crisp, buttery crust
  2. A silky chocolate ganache (optional but rich)
  3. A thick, creamy cookie dough topping

Chilling allows everything to set into a sliceable, melt-in-your-mouth dessert.
