Toll House Pie

Last year was the first Thanksgiving that I spent with Chris. Coincidentally it was also my introduction to an amazingly sinful and delicious dessert known as “Toll House Pie.” Essentially Toll House Pie is a gigantic, gooey chocolate chip cookie nestled in pie crust. Chris’s father is the king of Toll House Pie. I looked forward to devouring a gigantic piece of his luscious dessert again all week. Needless to say I was not disappointed. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how awesome that piece of pie tasted. After much internal debate (and a solemn vow to use the elliptical machine every night this week) I finally looked up a recipe online and made a Toll House Pie of my very own. Oh man…it was so worth having to spend all of that time running in place. Note: I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the recipe linked above. I’d also recommend reducing the cooking time slightly to 45-50 minutes. Now go get the chocolate chips and lace up those sneakers!
