DIAMOND COOKIE PIE

Steps:

• 1. In large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Blend in flour. Stir chocolate chips and nuts. Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell.
• 2. Bake at 325 for 50 to 55 minutes or until top is golden brown or pick inserted into center comes out clean. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

PIGGIES (SUGAR AND CINNAMON PIE DOUGH COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper.
• Mix flour and salt together in a bowl, and use a pastry cutter to cut in 1/3 cup of shortening until the mixture forms pea-size balls. With a fork, form a small well in the center of the mixture, and pour in water, a couple of teaspoons at a time, and stir with the fork to mix in the water and form a dough. Incorporate each addition of water before adding the next, until about 3/4 of the flour mixture has formed a stiff dough. Work a little more water in with your hands, and shape the dough into a ball.
• Working on a well-floured work surface with a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 12 by 16 inches, and about 1/8-inch thick. Spread 1 tablespoon of shortening over the surface of the dough with a soft spatula, and sprinkle sugar all over the dough square. Sprinkle the dough with cinnamon. Pick up a long edge of dough, and tightly roll the dough into a log shape. With a sharp knife, slice the log into 3/4-inch thick slices. Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are lightly browned and sizzling on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Cool on paper towels; freeze extras for later.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In large mixing bowl, beat eggs until light and foamy. Add flour, sugar and brown sugar and beat until well blended. Blend in melted butter. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Pour into pie shell.
• Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 1 hour. Remove from oven. Serve warm with whipped topping or ice cream.

GIANT HOT COOKIE PIE

Steps:

• First, make the cookie dough by beating the sugar and butter in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla paste and beat again until well combined. Tip in the flour and beat slowly until coming together. Once a dough has formed, tip in the chocolate chips and beat again until all the flour is incorporated, then add the milk and mix until combined. Turn out into a disc, wrap in cling film and leave to chill in the fridge while you make the brownie. If you're getting ahead, leave in the fridge overnight (maturing it will make the cookie even tastier).
• Next, make the brownie. Fill a saucepan a quarter full with hot water and sit a bowl on top so it doesn't touch the water. Add the chocolate and softened butter and put over a low heat. Stir every now and again until melted evenly.
• Remove the bowl from the pan and leave to cool a little. Meanwhile, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and remove the cookie dough from the fridge. Cut off and set aside 150g of the cookie dough.
• Line the base of your pan with the slightly chilled cookie dough (if making in advance, bring it up to temperature a little before doing this, so it is easier to handle). Press the cookie dough into the base and up the sides of the pan, lining it like a pastry tart case. There's no need to do this neatly, as once it bakes it will all spread and puff up slightly. Bake in the oven for 15 mins.
• While the cookie dough is baking, whisk the eggs and sugar together for the brownie until pale and foamy. Pour the cooled melted chocolate and butter mix over and fold together until well mixed. Finally, fold in the flour until well incorporated.
• Remove the cookie base from the oven. Use the back of a spatula or spoon to push it down and back up the sides. Pour over the brownie mixture and return to the oven for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, roll the 150g reserved cookie dough into cherry-tomato-sized balls. You should get about 24. Place, finger-width apart, on one or more large baking sheets lined with baking parchment. In the final 10 mins of the pie baking, bake the cookie balls for 5-8 mins or until golden and cooked through. Set aside to cool.
• Remove the pie from the oven and leave to cool in the pan for a few mins before serving. The middle should have a molten, slightly runny centre and the edges should be chewy and crispy. Pile balls of vanilla ice cream in the middle of the pie and top with the mini cookies and a dusting of cocoa powder. Take to the table and dig in.
