1 Video | Photo: Chocolate Chip Pie Recipe
Ingredients
Pie:
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup (2-sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups chopped walnuts, optional
Whipped cream:
- 2 pints (4-cups) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) pie plates; set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, and mix until fully combined. Fold in the 3 cups chocolate chips and, if desired, the walnuts. Divide the dough between the prepared pie plates and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake about 30 minutes or until pies are golden and slightly firm to the touch but still soft. If the pies begin to darken too much before they are baked through, cover with foil and continue baking. Let pies cool completely on a wire rack.
While the pies cool, whip the cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form (tips curl). Fold in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate whipped cream until ready to use. Spread the whipped cream over the pies and serve.

This was DELICIOUS!! I used huge wide chocolate chips and it was too much chocolate so stick the regular. Also, i did not let it cool for longer than 10 min. I cut it warm and had it with Vanilla ice cream instead of whipped cream and it was absolutely amazingggggggg. Will make this again reallllll soon:. I also cut out the nuts

I used to make a chocolate chip pie that was good, but that I stopped making for some reason. When I saw this recipe on Paula's Best Dishes, I made it that same night.
DELICIOUS!!!
After tasting this recipe, I immediately threw out my old one. My husband LOVED it. He usually doesn't like sweets, so when I put it in front of him he only had a few bites. Within 5 minutes his plate was totally clean!
I cut the recipe in half and it was pretty easy, with exception to the eggs (resulted in 1.5 eggs - I whisked 2 eggs and dumped some..no biggie. 3 other changes: 1. Used pecans instead of walnuts; 2. Used a mixture of chocolate chips and chopped up dark chocolate (didn't have enough chips; 3. didn't make the cream.
Next time, I will reduce the chocolate. I love chocolate, but it was a bit much. Halving the recipe called for 1.5 cups; I'll just use 1 cup.
Note: I did have to cover it with foil 20 minutes into baking; and had to bake it 10 minutes longer.
