Today’s recipe for brookie pie is deep dish decadence—a combination of two of my favorite dessert recipes, chocolate chip cookies and brownies. We’ll start with the cookie dough from my soft chocolate chip cookies. (I love these just as much as my extra chewy chocolate chip cookies because they’re filled with chocolate chips and it’s a really easy dough to make.) The cookie layer base is topped with my super chewy fudgy frosted brownies from scratch (minus the frosting). Individually, they’re delicious. Together? Out of this world!
Why You’ll Love This Brookie Pie

Looking for just brownies as pie? You’ll love this brownie pie that sits atop my homemade buttery flaky pie crust, or this s’mores brownie pie that’s paired with my classic graham cracker crust.
Overview: How to Make Perfect Brookie Pie
Brookie pie is a quick and straightforward recipe. It’s always fun to serve, especially if kids are getting a taste. It’s quite rich, so we usually save it for special occasions like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or a birthday celebration. Let’s review the process:
Brookie Pie Success Tip
Use a deep dish pie pan! This is a pretty tall pie because we have two very thick layers. If you use a regular pie dish, this brookie pie will overflow while it bakes and make a huge mess. As an alternative, you can bake the pie in a springform pan since the sides are tall. My two favorite pie pans to use for brookie pie are 1) this glass pie dish (used in today’s post) and 2) this ruffled ceramic pie dish (it’s so pretty—pictured in brown in my chicken pot pie recipe).
How to Serve Brookie Pie
The hardest part is waiting for this massive pie to fully cool. But you have two options here! Wait about 30 minutes and serve it slightly warm or let it cool completely for perfectly precise slices.
Toppings: While delicious on it’s own, we never shy away from extras. My favorite brookie pie toppings are chocolate ganache, salted caramel, whipped cream, ice cream, sprinkles, melted peanut butter, or melted chocolate.
Even if you can’t choose between chocolate chip cookies or brownies, I’m 150% positive that you’ll have no trouble deciding on brookie pie for dessert. 🙂
