Impossibly Easy 4-Ingredient No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

We try different recipes for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes we love what’s on the ingredients list. Sometimes we’re attracted to the beautiful pictures of the final results. And sometimes, all we need to hear is the name to know that we just HAVE to try something. That’s what happened to me when I read the title for The Kitchen Is My Playground’s No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie! I absolutely had to find out what in the world a cookie pie was and if it tasted as good as I imagined, so I grabbed my ingredients and started baking. Here’s how it went.

The Ingredients


– One 13-ounce package crunchy chocolate chip cookies (The soft and chewy kind will not work!)
– One 9-ounce prepared graham cracker pie crust
– 1 cup milk
– One 8-ounce container Cool Whip

The Directions

  1. Set aside two chocolate chip cookies to crumble on top of the finished pie.
  2. Dunk a cookie in the milk and place in the graham cracker crust. Repeat until you have a single layer of cookies in the bottom of the crust, dunking quickly so that the cookies don’t absorb too much milk and crumble. The original recipe says that this layer will contain eight cookies, but I found that the 9-ounce graham cracker crust actually only allows for about seven to fit.
  3. Spread 1/3 of the Cool Whip evenly over the cookies.
  4. Repeat the process to create two more cookie layers and two more Cool Whip layers. Again, I found that I could fit fewer cookies in each of my layers than The Kitchen Is My Playground— about nine versus her 10 to 11. However, I ended up with a particularly crumbly package of cookies, so I filled in some cracks with the broken bits!
  5. After the last layer of Cool Whip, crumble the reserved two cookies and sprinkle over the cop of the pie.
  6. Cover and chill for 8 hours before serving.

    7. I can’t imagine how this pie could be any easier! It’s literally just layers of chocolate chip cookies and whipped cream, and yet the dunking and cooling process really does make it feel like a pie. I was pleasantly surprised by how easily it cut into a regular pie slice, and it tastes just as light and as sweet as you can imagine.

    For this try-out, I followed The Kitchen Is My Playground’s exact recipe, pre-made ingredients and all, and now that I know that it works, I can’t wait to try it again with my own spin on it. I’m thinking: homemade graham cracker crust or a dark chocolate pie crust, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, and freshly-whipped cream topped with chocolate chips! What about you?
