Chocolate Chip Cookie PIe

This was so easy to put together and it was tasty.  I served cooled with ice cream and brought it to a friend's house.  Just a different way of bringing chocolate chip cookies. 



1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust, homemade or store-bought.
2 large eggs
1/2 C flour
1/2 C white granulated sugar
1/2 C packed brown sugar
3/4 C real butter, 
softened (1 1/2 sticks)
1 C chocolate chips
1 C chopped walnuts 
Preheat oven to 325° F.
Beat eggs in large mixer bowl on high speed until foamy. Beat in flour, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat in butter. Stir in morsels and nuts. Spoon into pie shell.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between edge and center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack or serve slightly warmed.  Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes:
1. I used half milk and half semi-sweet chips.
2. I used walnuts instead of pecans.

Cadbury egg cookies


1/2 C Crisco (I use butter flavored) 1/2 C Butter 1 C brown sugar 1 C white sugar 2 Eggs 1 1/2 t vanilla 1 t baking powder 1 t baking soda 1/2 t salt 2 1/2 C flour 6T unsweetened cocoa powder 1 10 oz bag Cadbury Mini-Eggs* *If it’s not Easter, or you (gasp!) don’t like Cadbury Eggs, try these cookies with white chocolate or PB chips- they’re fantastic! Preheat oven to 350. You’ll need to chop up those Cadbury Eggs. I just put them in a ziplock bag and bang on them with a marble rolling pin until they look like the picture below. A hammer would work too. Go get a kid and put him to work.

You know the drill. Cream together the butter, crisco, brown sugar and white sugar. Add in eggs one at at a time and the vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Add to the butter mixture to combine and then mix in the candies. And a little secret…if you want your cookies to look pretty like mine, save a few egg pieces and pop them on top of the cookies before baking so you get those colorful speckles on top! Drop onto a cookie sheet and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Mine are always done in exactly 9. They’re soft and fudgy in the middle and a little crisp on the edges with crunchy little candy bits throughout.

Makes about 4 dozen and are really tasty - and I don't even like Cadbury eggs!
