Ingredient Notes
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Pie crust: Pick up a store bought pie crust to make things easier, or make this homemade pie crust if you have more time.
- Cookie dough: I used a roll of Nestle chocolate chip cookie dough. Make it from scratch by using this Toll House cookie recipe or chocolate chip cookie recipe.
- Dulce De Leche: This is a caramelized milk aka caramel that comes in a can. I prefer the Nestle Le Lechara brand.
How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
- Add half of the cookie dough over the bottom of the crust.
- Spread dulce de leche over top of the chocolate chip cookie dough.
- Form disks of dough and gently press over top of the caramel until it is covered.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
Easy Cookie Pie Recipe Tips
- No crust version. Make this chocolate chip cookie pie with dulce de leche in a cast iron skillet without the pie crust similar to a pizookie.
- Layer of Nutella: For a Nutella dulce de leche chocolate chip cookie pie, AKA, million dollar pie, add a layer of Nutella first to the pie crust, then the caramel with cookie dough on top.
- Homemade crust: This all butter pie crust recipe really makes this pie special!
- Decorations. Sometimes I like to add extra chocolate chips to the top to make it look prettier. I just added a border of chocolate chips and made a heart in the center.
- Making ahead. This dessert can easily be made ahead of time. If you want to serve it warm, bake in the oven at 200°F for 3-5 minutes right before serving. You can also warm each piece in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Toppings. While decadent on it’s own, it’s even better with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce or hot fudge and some nuts like pecans.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Ingredients
- 1 (30-ounce) package chocolate chip cookie dough (I used Nestle)
- 1 9-inch pie shell , divided (no need to pre-bake)
- ¼ cup dulce de leche (canned caramel)
Optional: Semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips (for decorating the top), Vanilla ice cream, Hot fudge, Caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Add cookie dough to pie crust. Spread 1/2 cookie dough over the bottom of the pie crust. Top evenly with the 1/4 cup dulce de leche over top of the dough.
- Add cookie dough over dulce de leche. Spread enough dough to cover the dulce de leche. You don't need to use all of the cookie dough (I only used about 3/4 of the package). Top with extra chocolate chips, if desired.
- Bake. Place on a baking sheet and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is crisp and the center is cooked. It's okay for the pie to be slightly gooey in the center. I prefer it that way.
- Cool. Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of hot fudge or caramel, if desired.
Notes
- Homemade ingredients. Feel free to make your own homemade pie crust, chocolate chip cookie dough and caramel sauce.
- No crust version. You can also make this recipe in a cast iron skillet without the pie crust (similar to a pizookie). Just press the dough into the skillet and bake until the edges are slightly golden.

What degrees do you put the oven on?
Hi Janet, if you scroll to the recipe card (or hit the view recipe button at the top) it says to bake it 325°F. Enjoy!
Do you think you could use a graham cracker crust?
I haven’t tried, but that should work. You would just need to press the dough and then gently spread on top, so you don’t break the crust :)
Cookie pie is best! I love how the edges get crispy but the middle stays soft and gooey, and the layer if dulce takes to the next level! Yum!
We are obsessed! This is so good. My kids loved helping me make it too.
Looks heavenly! I’m seriously drooling over this goodness, this will quickly disappear in our house!
