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.

Hi,
At the risk of repeating the advice of other commenters (I tried to scan through the comments so I wouldn’t but there are a lot!), I have made chewy pumpkin cookies using pumpkin butter instead of pumpkin puree. You can get it at Trader Joe’s (and other places too), and the cookies were great. I saw other people did mention dehydrating the pumpkin puree on the stove top; I have not tried that, but I have heard good things. I just wanted to let you know about the pumpkin butter in case it had not been mentioned by anyone else. And this pie looks so good; I’m totally going to make it.
Excellent idea – thank you!
That last photo is a killer! I really, really want this delivered, right now….
I’m making this this weekend! :)
Does your husband like pumpkin yet? This pie looks TO DIE FOR but my boyfriend “claims” he doesn’t “like” pumpkin. (whaaaat?) Just curious if you’ve ever made something with pumpkin that converted your significant other… ;)
No. :( He still hates it!
I am so excited for your cookie recipe!! I love pumpkin cookies, but they always end up more like muffin tops than chewy cookies! Eeeeeeeeee!
ohgeez. yum.
oh and i don’t like “Soon enough”. i want it now. :)
I can’t wait for the cookie recipe! I’ve always wanted an uncakey pumpkin cookie, but I lack the patience/smarts to figure it out. In the meantime, I kind of want to eat this entire pie with a spoon. Hopefully that’s legit.
First thing that my brain said when I saw this -“Oh my god she didn’t!” Oh but you did and as usual I love it.
I made this pie yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. However, all the chocolate chips fell to the bottom of the pie. Do you know of any way to avoid this?
I love your recipes. Everything I’ve made has been delicious so far! Thanks a ton!
Thanks Brandi! So sorry the chips fell – did you toss them in the flour?? Maybe they needed to be tossed a little more?
Ummm…I didn’t do that at all. Totally missed that part of the recipe. I’ll definitely do that next time!
Do you think you could make this without the crust? I am totally craving a giant cookie (like the kind you can buy at the mall) but don’t want a pie.. I know.. crazy!
I’ve never tried but I totally think you could. I need to try it because I don’t like pie crust!
I think the secret to non cake like pumpkin cookies is dehydrated pumpkin flakes, the moisture from the pumpkin makes it cake like. Though pumpkin flake is annoying to get. Most pumpkin cookies Ive gotten store bought list pumpkin flake rather than just pumpkin.
I cannot, cannot wait to make this!!!!!!!!! I love how one photo shows two forks by the plate, as if you’re sharing……or maybe you’re using a fork in each hand? With something this delicious, that might be neccessary! :)
I hate making crust too! I worked here http://www.sugarees.com for 4 years. If you’ll notice that pie with the inch high crust & ridiculously high topping…I had to make those. Not just a few at a time but like 15+ on Thursdays.. Not my fav thing at all. I now buy crust. I made enough to last a life time
I bet you could adapt this recipe to make little mini cookie pies too. That would be super yummy, and fun.
Here are two recipes I have found for chewy pumpkin cookies! I have not made them yet (my pumpkin things to bake list is very very long!)

Oh yes, I will definitely have to make this! It sounds amazing!!
This looks UHmazing. Can’t wait to make it :D Thanks for yet another fabulous recipe!
This looks like a very intense pie. Although I am sad that you didn’t make the pie crust! I even went back and read your post from last October about your attempt to make pie crust. I bet if you had put a pie in that crust it would have been awesome. Nothing compares to home-made pie crust. I hate the store bought kind… But when I finally made my own crust last Thanksgiving, it was awesome! And I had just as much trouble as you did last October- it also came out looking very weird, never puffed up properly. I did add a secret ingredient- vanilla!- which I thought was great, but destroyed the texture.
ok, so I HAD to make this!

I CANNOT WAIT
(oops- continued…) for the non-cakey pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! I was literally just thinking about that this morning and wishing I could find one!
And PS – this pie looks RIDICULOUS. I want to make and eat it immediately

I almost made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies today! maybe tomorrow… until then, perhaps adding or substituting apple sauce or mashed bananas might add some moisture to the cookies to make them more “chewy”? let me know if you try it and it works! yum yum. <3
That looks awesome. If you want it chewier I think you should try using bread flour. I’ve never made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies but my regular chocolate chip always come out chewy with it.

I just made this pie, and because I am horrible at making pie crust I tried this “Pat-in-Pan” recipe in the Joy of Cooking (I urge everyone to try it by the way), HOWEVER, it seemed I had too much pumpkin-chocochip insides to my pie because its bubbling over into our oven. Bother. Perhaps try this one with a pan underneath? Either way, my roommates loved it, and may do my dishes for me now. :-)

I’m the odd one, I just dont like pie crust, BUT the fillings? LET ME AT’EM!!!!! So more than likely I will make the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies…..I MIGHT do a pie version for a couple of pie lovers around here, but the cookie with some whipped cream works for me!!
I can’t seem to get this recipe right- my filling doesn’t look solid like it does in your pictures, it was very liquidy- and all my chips sank to the bottom, and I did toss the chips in flour. I’m trying to figure out what I did wrong.
Since you don’t like pie crust, why not try this pie with a pretzel pie crust? Pumpkin and pretzels are amazing together!
Hi from a new reader! I love your blog and am so glad I found it. My boyfriend’s birthday is tomorrow and I REALLY want to make this for him. We recently moved to CO, so altitude is now in the equation. Do you know if I need to make any alterations or additions to the recipe? Thanks so much for any advice you can share!
Ah Emily… I’m so sorry, I have NO idea about alterations due to elevation. However, some of my blog friends live in CO and they do alterations – yesiwantcake.com, edibleperspective.com and heathersdish.com.
I made this and it was delicious… but I did toss my chocolate chips in flour and they still sunk =/ But that’s okay. It was still to die for. Only my ‘batter’ didn’t look like yours. It was a lot more pumpkiny orange.

I also made this and it turned out great, its one of the best pumpkin recipes i have tried yet….Thanks
I just stumbled across this, and it looks awesome, gonna have to bookmark it and try since my husband loves anything pumpkin flavored O,o. Thank you for the awesome recipe!
Add cookie dough! :)
I don’t like pumpkin pie, and I made this over the weekend and absolutely LOVED it. It was a huge hit with my family and I shared the recipe with at least 800 people. :)
I, like so many of your stalkers..I mean…readers.., am not-so-patiently waiting for that cookie recipe!!! Please please please share! I want to make them for my Halloween party :)
I also decided to cause a pumpkin shortage in Florida and have scoured the internet looking for scrumptious pumpkin recipes… and came across your website. Thank you for this easy sweet treat that was consumed rather quickly amongst coworkers. Needless to say I will be making a majority of your yum-o treats. Love all the fantastic photos!
I don’t do pie crusts either, just had to go read your post about that. That is what happens to me so refrigerated or frozen I go. This looks incredible and sounds so delish!
Just made this….oh. My. Goodness. I love pumpkin. I love cookies. I love pie! Brilliant!
I stumbled across this recipe and I must say… it looks AMAZING!! I might make this one for Thanksgiving!! It has almost everything I love!! I absolutely can’t wait!!
Never, ever read this blog on an empty stomach or you feel like you are torturing yourself. I cannot wait to try this!!!!!!
This just combined my two favorite desserts ever! Pure genius.
This is a perfect dessert if I ever saw one. It looks delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe!
This is a wonderful dessert, it looks like a sweet potato pie with blueberries! My mouth is in for a treat.
Hi! I just wanted to say that I made this pie today, and it was extraordinary. The consistence is the best of both the cookie and pie worlds. And obviously it tastes absolutely delicious. It’s pumpkin. And chocolate. And gloriousness. Anyway, it’s great to have a very seasonal dessert that deviates a bit from the norm. Thank you so much for sharing this! It never would have occurred to me, and my life would be sorely lacking.
*consistency.
