What’s In It?
We kept this Peanut Butter Cookie Pie super easy with just a few simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Cookie Dough – You’ll need three different kinds of cookie dough to form the layers of this Peanut Butter Cookie Pie including peanut butter cookie dough, double chocolate cookie dough, and chocolate chip cookie dough. To save time, we like to use pre-made options from our local grocery store. However, if you have homemade options on hand or want to make them from scratch you definitely can!
- Peanut Butter – We’ve found that creamy peanut butter works the best as it spreads evenly over the dough, but crunchy varieties can be used.
- Peanut Butter Cookies – We use mini Nutter Butter cookies, but any similar crunchy peanut butter cookie will do.
How to Make the Best Peanut Butter Cookie Pie Recipe
Once you’ve got the separate components gathered, this cookie pie comes together in minutes!
- Prepare. Preheat your oven, and grease a round pie pan or baking dish.
- Create the “Crust”. Add the peanut butter cookie dough to the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and allowing it to come up the sides.
- Layer. Smooth the peanut butter over the cookie dough, and arrange the peanut butter cookies on top. Next, spread the double chocolate cookie dough out evenly. Top it with balls of chocolate chip cookie dough.
- Bake. Place the baking dish in the oven until the top of the Peanut Butter Cookie Pie is golden brown.
- Serve. Set the pie aside to cool completely. Then, slice, and serve!
*Note: If you really can’t wait to take a bite, your pie can be served warm and is super delicious. It’s just more likely to crumble and fall apart!
Recipe Variations
- Swap Out the Peanut Butter. Replace the peanut butter layer with any other nut or seed butter you like best! For instance, almond butter, cashew butter, or tahini all taste great. You can also use chunky peanut butter, too. You’ll likely just need a little more to be able to completely cover the cookie dough.
- Use Different Cookie Dough. Mix and match all your favorite cookie dough recipes for one or all of the layers so you never get bored!
- Add Candy. Incorporate pieces of your favorite candy for added texture and flavor. Some of our favorite options include M&M’s, Reese’s cups, Twix bars, Kit Kats, and Reese’s Pieces.
- Use a Topping. Draw inspiration from cookie pizzas and add a topping like icing, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup or peanut butter.
Serving Suggestions
As mentioned, we recommend serving this Peanut Butter Cookie Pie cool or at room temperature. Then, we love to add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream! Or, it’s great when paired with a tall glass of cold milk.
