Time for something sweet! Actually, I have a few sweet things lined up, just so happens that I feel like posting this one first, as it’s the one I’m om nom nomming now!
So, Cookie Pie! Typically, this pie is made as if it were a cookie, i.e., one makes a cookie-like dough, pours it in a pie shell, and bakes it. However, I have a different take on it, what I do is I take actual cookies, and make a pie with them! To start with, the ingredients:
- Eggs: 2 of them
- Butter: A good chunk (about 150g or so).
- White and Brown sugar (1/2 cup each).
- Your favourite cookies! Choc chip in my case, you can go for a triple choc of whatever you want.
- Some 100g of hazelnuts, or amonds, or walnuts, whatever you want.
- A pie shell or, in my case, some sweet short pastry – whatever you feel more comfortable handling.
To start with, beat the two eggs and melt the butter (microwaves are handy for this), then add the butter to the eggs. Mix thoroughly, then add the sugar(s). Mix again.
Separately, you want to crush the nuts and the cookies, until the nuts are smaller-than-hazelnut sized, and the cookies are in similarly sized chunks. There’s no need to make them into powder! Note that this pie doesn’t require flour, that’s because we’re making it with cookies!
Once that stuff is crushed, add it to the egg-butter-sugar mix. It’ll look something like this:
Pour in the pie shell or whatever you’re using, and into the pre-heated oven it goes! I set mine to fan-bake at 150°C for 40 minutes. Times will vary (mostly, look at the pie shell you have and the type of oven, non-fan baking usually should be a bit higher, 160°C to 170°C and may take a bit longer).
The result?
Presentation may vary depending on the shell you used! Let it cool for a bit, and serve warm! If you put the unfinished pie in the fridge, heat it (or slice it first, then heat the slices) before serving, some 30s in the microwave will do.
