Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie.
I made you a pie.
Well, okay… I made you the filling of a pie.
I bought the crust.
I don’t do crusts. Remember when I tried? Yeah… not happening.
But I made croissants so that makes up for it. Hmmpf!
Way back when I shared a chocolate chip cookie pie that I found on a yellowed scrap of newspaper in my mom’s recipe box… and it literally tasted like a giant chocolate chip cookie. It was oooey and gooey and even… chewy. Yes.
I’ve only made it once since then because if it’s made, it’s eaten.
By me.
All of it.
Just try it. Double dare.
So… I made the pie with pumpkin. Know why? Because I dreamt it. Yep. I’m totally serious.
I woke up on Sunday morning with one thought in my mind: pumpkin chocolate chip cookie pie. It was blaring in my head like a siren. I have no idea why.
Alright, I sorta do.
See, for the last four weeks I’ve been trying to perfect a seriously CHEWY pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. Yes, I’ve had the normal pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They were one of the first recipes I ever posted here, complete with pictures to make your skin crawl. Buuuut… I’m done with them. I don’t even want to see another one. I want chew, not cake. CHEW. If I want a cakey cookie, I’ll make a darn cake. I want a cookie that chews and spits out melty chocolate chips.
I’m probably the reason for the pumpkin shortage because, um… I think I’ve gone through at least 10 cans trying to perfect these stupid chewy cookies. It’s driving me insaaaaaaaane! Good news is I’ve nailed it and will share it soon enough. Better news is that this pie was worth sharing over those cookies.
I’m convinced waking up with pumpkin cookie pie on the brain was the universe’s way of telling me to lay off the cookies.
Oh, except for one thing. The pumpkin… it kind of took away the chew of the pie. *hangs head*
Not all of it. It’s still cookie-like, it just definitely adds a bit of cakey-ness. But I’m not one to complain. (<– really? since I’ve now complained this entire post.) I’m so annoyed with pumpkin right now. Why can’t it have chew-inducing molecules, or whatever the heck it has to have to stop being so cakey?
Anyway, I wanted to pie myself in the face with this. If that tells you anything.

I am all about pumpkin and chocolate…and this pie. Yum!
I cannot wait for the chewy pumpkin cookie recipe! I don’t like the cake-y ones either. I’ve tried to make a non-cakey one but have not had any success, can’t wait to try yours!!!! :D
Oh…my…LAWD. This looks just perfect.
Beautiful!
I buy my pie crusts too. Its so much easier :)
I am just not into pumpkin. I went through a pumpkin stage (as Keith calls it) a few years ago where I would literally eat pumpkin every night in some form after dinner for dessert. This stage lasted for about 8 months. I now can not even look at a can of pumpkin without turning an ugly shade of green. What have I done to myself?
I totally understand girl. Trust me.
We’ll forgive you for the pumpkin shortage…. as long as you ship us the cookies that didn’t make the cut ;)
Pretty much one of the best ideas ever!
looks very very good Jess. You have the most amazing pictures and recipes. i love love love your blog! :-)
Thank you so much!
Ok this is a truly fail proof pie crust recipe:
One cup shortening
One cup hot (or warmish) water
three cups flour-added gradually
I promise you can’t mess it up. It makes two crusts.
Thank you!
holdy crud- growing up- my dad made pie crust… but it always HAD to be ice water (even with little chunks of ice still floating in it), and cold lard, shortning or butter. Also a pinch of salt. Hmmmm-mm now I am going to hav to trythis way ans see the difference. Good thing Holiday cooking is coming up, and pie crusts will get used. I also use left over scraps for pie sticks. (Muaha-ha-ha )
That’s so interesting about the cold water…maybe I’ll try that. I know I usually chill the dough before using it, so maybe that cuts out a step???
well, i can’t wait to see your cookies. i had big plans for a recipe this weekend with pumpkin that didn’t turn out how i planned (definitely cakier than i wanted). they were still delicious, but not what i imagined.
i could handle some of this today, for sure.
Oh for the love…this is insane, INSANE! We adore this recipe…anything with pumpkin & ice cream!
Ahhhhh I just bought 3 giant jars of pumpkin and need something to do with them :) This looks awesome- I would have to seriously cut myself off from the raw dough.
Parents are coming to dinner tonight…making this! Looks pretty easy..aka..I can do it.
Oh my – this sounds ridiculously good…esp. with that ice cream melting over top.
Um yes please – this sounds and looks fabulous. I’m going into my kitchen right now to make it…
I didn’t know the inside of any food could be “giggly”!!!
I’m with you on the storebought crust, not against you. This looks delicious. That shot of the vanilla ice cream? It’s 7am and I’m considering ice cream for breakfast.
Doooo it.
You can make chewy pumpkin cookies by cooking the pumpkin down on the stove first. It cooks off a lot of the water and just leaves the puree. Works great!
Awesome – thanks!
You should try adding a package of pudding mix to the recipe… somehow. Alls I know is whenever I have added pudding mix to anything, it gets caramelized on the outside and chewy on the inside.
And while I have no particular adjustments you should make or exact measurements I can give you, I have faith in your tinkering abilities :)
Why does pumpkin make EVERYTHING better?! I cannot wait for the CHEWY Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies! Do you have any recipes up your sleeve for a pumpkin pasta?!
Whole wheat pumpkin gnocchi was one of the first recipes I ever posted (http://www.howsweeteats.com/2009/10/whole-wheat-pumpkin-gnocchi/), and they are good (better with brown butter and parmesan) but I don’t have a recipe where pumpkin is used as a sauce yet! I’ve seen them but don’t know if I’d like it?
Oh holy cow! Yes, please with sugar on top!!
This looks amazing! Pumpkin + chocolate + cookies. I’ll take it. :)
I think I need to add this recipe to the list of desserts I’m making for Thanksgiving. It looks SO good!!!
I just tried my first 2 crust pie last night. It wasn’t very pretty, and it took forever to chop all those apples. But it was totally worth it because it tasted amazing. Just wasn’t prize winning beauty…
That looks amazing!! I have been craving cookie pie for the longest time! Adding pumpkin just made it infinitely better!
I am so excited for this because unlike you that only made your chocolate chip cookie pie once….I have made WAAAAAAAAY too many times!!! It is so stinkin good! So the chocolate chip cookie pie made with pumpkin…I can’t wait!!
I was just talking about how I’m tired of pumpkin pie.. This isn’t necessarily a replacement but it is a must make!!
This is an interesting spin on the pumpkin chocolate chip combination and it looks delicious!
Just when I think there are no more ways that you can torture me – you make this. HEAVEN. Chocolate and pumpkin are perhaps (PERHAPS) a better combo than chocolate and peanut butter in my book. And that’s saying A LOT.
OMG, yumm! I absolutely heart anything pumpkin! For the last few weeks I’ve been making spiced pumpkin cookies w/ white choc chips and nuts.. for some rreason, I like the pumpkin/white chocolate combination. Have you tried this with white chocolate??
I haven’t but you are right – it does sound pretty good!
NOW I know who’s stealing all the pumpkin! (I know I don’t live near you, but maybe you came down to the Washington D.C. area to buy all the pumpkin. You never know.) I was determined this weekend to make your Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, but I couldn’t find pumpkin anywhere. I went to three grocery stores, and they were all sold out. Now you’ve made this delicious looking pumpkin cookie pie, and I want to make that too. I must find pumpkin!
I absolutely NEED to make this.
Okay. So. I have ALWAYS wanted to pie someone in the face. It’s pretty much a weird, sick, unfulfilled dream from my childhood. So since YOU want to be pied with this, and I want to pie someone…you see where this is headed?
I will even let you pie me in return. Because really, this looks so delicious.
Well that sounds fair.
You were thinking of me when you made this weren’t you? Seriously. I know when you want chewy, you want chewy! Great post.
Cookie pie is one of my favorites! I would have never thought to add pumpkin! This looks crazy good!
yesssss x 1 million! looks amazing. adding pumpkin and ice cream to anything can never turn out badly. It’s a law.
This sounds absolutely wonderful! Since I have everything I need to make this, I am going to give it a try later this week.
So absolutely making this.
Pumpkin and chocolate chip cookies in pie form?! I am totally going to have to make this. It sounds like it would make for a delicious dessert! :)
I can do homemade crust. You know what the secret is? Hands on tutoring by somebody who’s been doing it for years. However, I haven’t figured out how to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies chewy. I’ve been wishing I could for years. You master the cookies and I’ll teach you pie crusts. Or ship them to you on dry ice. Do you have any idea how much better my autumns will be if the pumpkin cookies are chewy gooey instead of cakey?
That sounds like an awesome exchange.
This is making me hungry!!! Great dream-great recipe :D
Make pie crust in the food processor, it makes things a lot easier and helps you get your hands away from the dough! I always use ice cold water and 100% butter–I’m not a fan of margarine and if anyone ever tells you, you can’t make a flaky pie dough with butter…they are wrong! :)
This is amazing!! Love your recipes :)
I feel my pants getting tighter as I look at this. I literally cannot make this, or I will eat the whole thing. Too bad.
THANK YOU for championing store-bought crusts. I’ve always been embarrassed to say that the fun of pie making is about the filling. Sure, homemade crusts can be great, but you inevitably have guests who “don’t like crust” anyway, and then all that work you put in… !! I always, unapologetically use Marie Callender’s. They’re FINE. I said it – and so did you! Thanks for backing me up on this one! :)
I am definitely the person who never eats pie crust!
Ahhhhhhh, two of my favorite things! I always rock a store bought crust. There’s no shame in that!
Yum, yum yum! This looks AMAZING! Great job, Jessica!
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your ‘typical day’ post last week. It really opened my eyes to how much work you put into your site and I appreciate every part of it! You have a beautiful, amazing blog and I ALWAYS love checking in to see what your’e up to. It’s always delicious1 Keep up the stellar work!
Thank you Dana!
Get in my bellyyyyyyy! Gahh this pie looks so good!
I didn’t know it was even POSSIBLE to make a chewy pumpkin cookie. I wonder why it is that they’re ALWAYS cakelike?
