Today, I am so excited and honored to bring you this Million Dollar Cookie Pie from the cookbook Our Sweet Basil Kitchen by Cade and Carrian Cheney, creators of the recipe website Oh Sweet Basil! I am so blessed to call Carrian a dear friend of mine. I was first introduced to Carrian on Instagram through her brave, open battle with hyperemisis. I continue to be in awe as she inspires me with her light, strength, wisdom kindness and delicious recipes!
Cookie Pie
Although it was difficult to decide which recipe to share from the Oh Sweet Basil Cookbook, in the end I went with their Million Dollar Cookie. It was a million dollar winning choice. Or at least it taste like it. So What exactly is a cookie pie? It is exactly what it sounds like: pie crust + cookie dough = Cookie Pie! Essentially, Cookie Pie is a pie made with pie crust in either in a skillet or pie pan then filled with cookie dough. This Million Dollar Cookie Pie, however, has a few extra layers that make it a million dollars more delicious than the rest. These extra layers mean a few extra steps but they are all very simple and the end result is layers of flaky pie crust, chocolaty Nutella, creamy Dulce de Leche and buttery chocolate chip cookie all drizzled with more caramel and chocolate.
How Do I Make Cookie Pie ?
Step 1: First, create the template for your Nutella/Dulce de Leche layer by placing the pie plate you will use on top of a piece of parchment paper and tracing an outline of the bottom of the plate. Set the parchment paper aside. Step 2: Next, make your cookie layer by making the cookie dough. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix an additional minute. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add to wet ingredients and mix to combine. Stir in chocolate chips and set aside. Step 3: Roll out your store-bought pastry dough and line your pie plate. Cover and refrigerate. Step 4: Meanwhile, take the parchment paper on which you traced an outline and place it, traced-side-down on the counter. You will be able to see the outline through the paper, but the pencil markings will be touching the counter, not the topping. Scoop the Nutella into the center of the parchment circle and spread out evenly to fill the entire shape. Freeze 10 minutes. Step 5: Remove from freezer, then spread Dulce de Leche over the top, and return to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes OR until you can easily peel the disc from the parchment paper. Step 6: Remove frozen hazelnut and Dulce de leche disc from the freezer and carefully peel it off the parchment paper. Lay the disc in the pie crust. Step 7: Add the cookie dough and press into a uniform layer. Step 8: Bake 25-35 minutes of until the top is golden brown and the center is almost set. Step 9: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes then top with loads of ice cream, caramel and chocolate sauce. And that’s what a million dollars tastes like. Thank you Our Sweet Basil Kitchen Cookbook. Thank you.
