The soft, underbaked center contrasts crisp golden edges while candy bursts add fun crunch in every bite. Pantry-staple ingredients make it beginner-friendly, and it beats slicing dozens of cookies for crowds.
Ingredients
**For the Cookie Pie Dough:**
– 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
– 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
– 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
– 1 large egg, room temperature
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 1/3 cups (170g) all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
**For the Topping:**
– 1 cup (180g) M&Ms, divided (use colorful for holidays)
– Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or extra M&Ms for edge-to-edge coverage
**Equipment:** 9-inch pie dish (metal or glass), mixing bowl, rubber spatula.
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat oven. Set to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or nonstick spray. This prevents sticking and ensures easy slicing.
3. 2. Melt butter. Microwave butter in a large bowl for 30-45 seconds until fully melted. Let cool 2 minutes so it does not cook the egg.
5. 3. Mix wet ingredients. Whisk in brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and glossy, about 1 minute. No lumps means even texture.
7. 4. Add dry ingredients. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Dough will be thick like brownie batter.
9. 5. Spread dough. Transfer to prepared pie dish. Use damp fingers or spatula to press evenly, creating a 1/2-inch thick edge for crispiness.
11. 6. Add toppings. Press 1/2 cup M&Ms into dough surface. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup plus extras around edges and center for full coverage.
13. 7. Bake. Place in middle oven rack for 24-26 minutes. Edges golden, center pale and soft with moist toothpick crumbs. Avoid overbaking for gooey pull-apart texture.
15. 8. Cool and serve. Rest 30 minutes in dish. Slice warm with vanilla ice cream or milk. Store leftovers airtight.
Notes
**Essential Baking Tips:** Underbake slightly for that cookie-dough center everyone craves. Toothpick test: Clean edges, fudgy middle. Glass pans bake slower; add 2 minutes.
**Storage:** Room temperature up to 3 days airtight. Fridge 5 days. Freeze up to 3 months.
**Variations:** Peanut Butter: Add 1/4 cup PB. Holiday: Seasonal M&Ms. Gluten-Free: 1:1 flour blend.
