Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Before Christmas, my son discovered a chocolate chip pie on a menu where we were eating. He knows that I refuse to pay $5.00 or more for a slice of pie so he asked me if I would bake something like this for him. I forgot all about it until he mentioned it last week. I searched online and through a couple of cookbooks that I have here, but nothing grabbed me. All of the recipes called for nuts. Even though my family is "nutty", they are not big fans of nuts in desserts. I found a 1/2 bag of Heath Toffee Chips in my cupboard so I used them in place of the nuts. The results were extremely good.

Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Ingredients:

1 refrigerated 9-inch pie shell, slightly prebaked*
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup toffee baking pieces

Toppings:

ice cream or whipped cream, optional


Directions for Prebaking Pie Shell:

I like using a 10" pie pan to hold a 9" pie crust when making a pie like this. It leaves room at the top of the pie plate to hold
whipped cream or another topping.

Preheat over to 425*

Place the pie crust into the pie pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Bake for 7 minutes or until very lightly browned.


Directions for Pie:

Preheat oven to 325° F.

In a large bowl, whip eggs until light and foamy.

In a seperate bowl, stir together the sugars and flour. Spoon the dry mix into the eggs a little at a time until well blended.

Mix in butter. Continue mixing untill smooth.

Stir in chocolate chips and toffee pieces. Spoon into pie shell.

If using a deeper pan like I do, bake for 45 mintues or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. If using a regular
pan, it will probably need to bake for 5 - 10 minutes more.

Cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped
cream.

While this pie is delicous served plain or just with whipped cream....why stop there?!?
