Chocolate Pie Cookies combine gooey chocolate filling with a soft, buttery cookie shell — like mini chocolate pies in cookie form, perfect for holidays or indulgent treats.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • Optional toppings: sea salt flakes, powdered sugar, crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients to form a soft dough.
  5. In a saucepan, melt chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat. Stir until smooth, then add vanilla extract. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten in hand, place a spoonful of filling in center, then fold and seal into a ball.
  7. Place filled dough balls on baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes, until just set.
  8. Cool slightly and optionally dust with powdered sugar, sea salt, or desired toppings.

Notes

  • Seal cookies well to prevent filling leaks.
  • Chilling the dough before baking can help hold shape.
  • Filling can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
  • Microwave to reheat for a gooey center.
  • Use gluten-free flour blend to make it gluten-free.
