I just adore reading cookbooks. -- Probably no shocker there, right? And I love reading any kind of cookbook. I swear, I'm drawn to them like a moth to light. It doesn't matter that I have an entire bookshelf full. Nope. -- I won't hesitate at all to buy a new one that catches my eye.

But I have an extra-special love for local cookbooks compiled, with love, by church or women's groups (or any type group, for that matter). And one such cookbook just so happens to be where I came across the recipe for this totally scrumptious and ridiculously easy No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie.

You know, some people buy t-shirts when they go on a trip or visit a new place. Or, perhaps snow globes -- or magnets -- or any variety of little things as souvenirs. Not me.

Can you guess what kind of souvenir I buy when I visit places? -- A cookbook.

Yes, if I purchase a souvenir from a trip, it tends to be a local cookbook put together by a local church, or women's club, restaurant, or an inn, or some type of local fundraising group. -- Whatever I find that reflects the cooking style of that place. And these souvenir cookbooks often turn out to be some of the most favorite in my collection.

Four simple ingredients come together to create one delicious No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. You truly won't believe how easy it is!

Now this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie recipe isn't from a cookbook from some exotic location. This one is from a fundraising groups' cookbook from right here in my backyard ~ Carolina Blessings: Recipes from Friends of the Children's Home Society of North Carolina.  And it's one of my favorites for many reasons. (Both the cookbook and the recipe, that is.)

Though I have to admit when I first read this simple recipe, I was skeptical.

Because truly all you do to make this no-bake chocolate chip cookie pie is dip store-bought original Chips Ahoy! cookies in milk and layer them in a prepared graham cracker crust with some Cool Whip. And I thought ... really? -- That works??

Oh yes, it works. It works quite wonderfully, in fact. And it's a method that's even easier than ... well, pie.

No crust mixing. No crust rolling. No baking. It's like magic how easily this cookie pie comes together.  So easy, in fact, it's a great starter recipe for getting kids cooking in the kitchen. Even young kids can totally make this recipe on their own.

What's to Love About This Recipe?

  • Just 4 ingredients - Almost unbelievably, it takes just 4 ingredients to make this incredibly delicious No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. Who knew 4 simple ingredients layered together could taste so good!
  • Ridiculously easy - It's like magic how easily this cookie pie comes together! Simply dunk cookies in milk and layer them in a crust with Cool Whip. That's it. For real.
  • No-bake - No need to turn on the oven to create this deliciousness. In addition to ridiculously easy, this pie's no-bake, too.
  • Creamy deliciousness - This one's out-of-this-world creamy chocolate chip cookie deliciousness in a crust! And it just doesn't get much better than that.
  • An all-time favorite - Creamy No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie is a beloved all-time favorite, adored by kids and grown-ups alike.

No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie Ingredients:

It takes just 4 ingredients to make this incredibly delicious No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. To whip one up, you'll need:

  • Packaged chocolate chip cookies - A 13-ounce package of store-bought chocolate chip cookies creates the foundation of the pie's fills. Use original crunchy chocolate chip cookies, not soft & chewy. -- We use Chips Ahoy!.

  • Milk - Serves as the dunking liquid for the cookies, nicely softening them as they create the pie's filling.

  • Cool Whip - Spread between the chocolate chip cookies, Cool Whip brings the creaminess to the pie. Substitute homemade whipped cream, if you prefer.

  • A prepared graham cracker pie crust - Holds all the creamy chocolate chip cookie deliciousness. One standard 9-oz graham cracker crust is needed. A homemade graham cracker crust can be used, if you prefer.

How to Make 4-Ingredient No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie:

Making this super simple pie truly couldn't be any easier. To get started, first dunk some store-bought chocolate chip cookies in milk. Just dunk each cookie pretty quickly or it will absorb too much milk and crumble apart on you.

As you dunk, lay each cookie in a prepared graham cracker crust, creating a single layer of cookies. -- Easy so far, right?  Well, believe me, it stays this easy.

Keep going with the cookie-milk dunking until the bottom of the pie crust is covered.

Spread on a layer of Cool Whip, completely covering the layer of chocolate chip cookies.

Then repeat the process twice, creating a total of three layers of cookies topped with Cool Whip, ending with a layer of Cool Whip on top. (Still easy!)

Crumble up 2 chocolate chip cookies and sprinkle the crumbs on top of the pie.

Then cover and stick the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight. (Okay I'll admit, this waiting part of the recipe might actually be hard.) As the pie chills, the cookies get all soft and smooshy with the Cool whip, which ends up being oh-soooooo totally good.

Who knew four simple ingredients put together to get all smooshy in a pie would be so good?

Well, apparently the "friend" who put it in the Carolina Blessings: Recipes from Friends of the Children's Home Society of North Carolina cookbook. Thank you, "friend!" -- I'm so glad I added this cookbook to my collection so I could enjoy and share this delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie recipe.

  14. This is also yummy using oreos dipped in milk too. You can use a prepared chocolate cookie crust or the graham cracker crust. Also, freeze the pie instead of refrigerating... so good!!

  23. This looks incredibly delicious!! I love the idea of just using cookies, especially chocolate chip cookies..yum! But seen that I'm from Holland and we don't have Cool Whip or a pie crust I would use typical Dutch biscoff cookies, chocolate chips and some whipped cream..*pardonmeIjustdrooled*

    Keep up the yummy work!

  35. Has anyone tried making this WITHOUT dunking the cookies in milk? I'm wondering if the cookies would just get soft anyway with the Cool Whip?!?

  43. I've been making a similar dessert for many years now. The main difference is I make it a little more "adult" and use a half and half milk and Kahlua mixture to dunk the cookies in. You can also use Baileys. For those that don't like Cool Whip, try mixing prepared Dream Whip and icing sugar. Also, I often prepare it in a springform pan and serve it like a torte. Ooh, I've also tried it with a peanut butter/chocolate chip cookie too! I think I'll try your version with the crust!

  51. I love that you collect cookbooks. I figure I'll never get to all the recipes I want to make. To me, this choc chip cookie pie looked awesome, but my son doesn't like cool whip. I had to come up with some ideas. Layer one, I mixed the cool whip with cream cheese. Middle layer. I spread strawberry jam on the cookies. Top layer, drizzled chocolate syrup . Serving it tonight, so we'll see.
