I had a friend who used to make this once in a while and my family loves it.  I lost contact with the friend but managed to hold on to the recipe.  It is a super easy recipe that comes out tasting like a giant chocolate chip cookie.  I like to serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Make a single crust pie dough.  If you don’t like to make your crust from scratch, I won’t be insulted.  I went for many years using the prepared crusts from the refrigerated section at the store.  I now make it from scratch as it really is easy.

In your food processor put:

1 1/4 cup flour

1/2 cup cold butter cut in small pieces

Process until crumbly.  Add 3-4 tablespoons of ice water and process just until it starts to come together.  Roll out and put in a shallow (as opposed to deep dish) pie plate.

Filling:

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup flour

1 cup melted butter

1 cup chocolate chips

Whisk together the eggs, sugars and vanilla

Add the flour and whisk until smooth

Add the butter in three additions, whisking until smooth after each addition.  Add the chocolate chips (1 cup of nuts also if you like) stir until well mixed.  Pour into your prepared pie shell and bake at 325 degrees for about 50 minutes or until the center is puffed and golden brown.  Give it a try, it is sure to please your family!chocolate chip pie
