I didn't have a big Pi Day party like Roshni (who should make a post about all the pies at that party -- hint hint) but I did celebrate the day with my favorite pie, my mom's Tollhouse Cookie Pie. For those who enjoy the taste of Tollhouse Cookies, this pie is an easy alternative, since you don't have to stand over the oven for a long time and drop the cookies onto the cookie sheet. For those who are cooking for one, it also keeps much better than cookies do (unless you eat it all really fast because it's so good...which...um, I definitely did).
Ingredients:
2 eggs
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup cooking oil
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 refrigerated pie shell
Beat eggs until foamy. Combine flour, brown sugar, and sugar, and add to eggs. Add butter and oil, mix well. Add chocolate chips. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Add a few chocolate chips on top, if desired. Bake at 325 degrees, for approximately an hour (check after 50 minutes). Allow to cool on the stove top for half an hour if you like your pie warm, or cool in the refrigerator for an hour if you want it cooler.
:O that looks like a giant cookie with a crust. *drools*
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't actually really taste like a cookie, it tastes more like...pie? haha. I don't really know how to describe it :P
ReplyDeletehaha so clearly, Adrienne, that means you need to make one for us so that we can TASTE it! :D
