I’m going to come right out and say it: this may just be my favorite recipe.

I have a lot of dreams, it’s true, but chief among them has always been my intense desire to master a healthy, wholesome chocolate chip cookie with real ingredients. I know. Ambitious right?

There are just so many iterations of and preferences for the perfect chocolate chip cookie, but let me paint you a picture of what mine would look like. Golden brown on the outside, chewy and gooey on the inside. Studded with melty chocolate chips, with a soft, slightly under-baked center. Best eaten when fresh out of the oven. Call me a cookie texture princess. Fine. I deserve it.

My point is: I think I might have achieved one of my dreams with this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie.

I created this recipe when I was craving something sweet to eat with my afternoon coffee (okay, so yes, this is a feeling I get around 3PM everyday of my life, but I digress…) I wanted something that would taste decadent but not feel too heavy.

My recipe uses no dairy, no eggs, and no grains. It is sweetened with coconut sugar and uses just three tablespoons of oil in the entire recipe. But don’t let all this talk fool you…I’ve tricked more than a few people into thinking it’s a lot unhealthier than it actually is. You’ll want to make and eat this on repeat – that, I’ll promise you!

My chocolate chip cookie pie also reminds me of a pizookie and would taste amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Just throwing that suggestion out in the open. Take that for what you will…

If you do make this recipe please tag me on Instagram @DADAEATS and hashtag #DADAEATSTreats. I want to see the magic you make!

Enjoy!!
