Pinterest Eats: CCC Pie

I found a recipe for "the best cookie cake ever" on the beloved Pinterest the other day. I was pin-spired (thanks, Brooke) to make my own version this afternoon.

I followed this recipe : M&M Cookie Pie

Since I did not have any M&M's on hand, I gathered all of the opened bags of semisweet chocolate chips I could find in my pantry (the total would be 4, I mean, because who has an inability to use up one bag of chocolate chips before opening another one? I do. Apparently.)
Any who...I dumped all of those chips into the batter and popped this beauty in the oven.

25 minutes later this was what I had!


I made a gallon of lemonade to go along with the pie. Thanks to many summers at FBCC vacation Bible school, I crave lemonade when I have homemade chocolate chip cookies.




My pie is on the gooey side because that's how I roll. If you want less goo, bake for a little longer.

I'm sure some vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup would be a great addition.


BTW, there's a considerably larger missing section of the pie now...

After lunch the girls enjoy hanging out in their high chairs and looking out the window.  Holland thoroughly enjoyed her peaches.  I should have left the evidence on her nose for this photo!

June and me :)

There's something about a naked baby that I just love.  That silky soft skin is so sweet!  I won't lie--the girls and I spend a good amount of time making faces into the mirror in their room.
So fun.
