Chocolate Chip Pie

This pie always brings back memories for me of when my mom used to make it when I was a little kid. Its tastes like a combination of a brownie and a cookie and smells amazing while its baking! 

This recipe is pretty standard, but I used the one from http://www.verybestbaking.com, with some changes. I don't put nuts in my pie, since I don't like them. And I also add some vanilla extract, salt, and instant coffee to boost the chocolate flavor and balance out sweetness.
Hope you enjoy! :-)
Note: The picture is what the pie looks like before baking. Afterwards it looks something like this: 

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 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of instant coffee
  • 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.

* If using frozen pie shell, use deep-dish style, thawed completely. Bake on baking sheet; increase baking time slightly.
