Life changer

I'm about to share with you one of my all time favorite recipes. It will make you want to be my best friend. It's the recipe for the Nestle Toll house pie. Yes that's right friends, it exists. As good as you think Nestle Toll house cookies are, the pie is better.
   My love for this pie started in college. The cafeteria ladies would make this pie typically once a month for dessert. On those nights I would eat like one piece of cauliflower and a saltine...and then three pieces of pie. Don't judge, those pies went fast and I would get panicky seeing the pieces vanish so quickly. So here's the gem...
                                                   

Ingredients

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell *
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 1 cup (6 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
  • 1 cup chopped nuts
  • Sweetened whipped cream or ice cream (optional)

Directions

PREHEAT oven to 325° F.

BEAT eggs in large mixer bowl on high speed until foamy. Beat in flour, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat in butter. Stir in morsels and nuts. Spoon into pie shell.

BAKE for 55 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between edge and center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm with whipped cream, if desired.
 
 
It's super easy and if you sit down after it cools with the whole pie and a fork, there is no judgement here. Only admiration.
