GOOEY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE PIE - CRAZY FOR CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Place pie crust in pie plate and crimp edges as desired. Chill until ready to fill.
• Add melted butter to a large bowl, followed by both sugars. Stir with a wooden spoon or use a hand mixer until smooth.
• Mix in egg, vanilla baking soda, and salt. Then add flour and stir until thick.
• Add chocolate chips and stir until well mixed.
• Spread cookie batter into prepared pie crust. Sprinkle with about ¼ cup additional chocolate chips on top.
• Cover pie with a pie shield and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F. Then lower the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until the cookie is puffed, no longer glossy on top, and light golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Cool at least to room temperature before slicing. This pie slices messy before it's cooled but it tastes so good warm or room temperature.
• Serving suggestions: ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream or plain.
• Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
