I’m super excited to share my pie this year!  It’s a cookie pie! and oh so easy!!

First off, I’m going to bet you might even have all the ingredients on hand.  **note:  you will see that I like to use the Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust 😉

If you like peanut butter oatmeal cookies, then you are going to love this Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Pie!  I made them using 4.75″ tart pans and they were like giant chewy cookies but with the added crunch of pie crusts.  It’s like a fabulous cookie taken up a notch! You’ve got to make these pies.

The original recipe from Ken Haedrich, calls for butterscotch chips, but I used peanut butter chips, and you could certainly make it in a 9-inch pie pan.  I just thought the six little 4.75-inch tarts would be cute!

How to Make Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Pie

I found a bowl slightly larger than my tart pan, and used it to cut my pie crust.

I pressed the crust gently into the pan and against the sides, removing any extra pastry that hangs over the edge.  I then put the pie crust lined pans in the freezer for about 15 minutes while I prepare the pie filling (Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Pie recipe below).

I divided the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Pie filling into the 6 pie shells.  Next, I placed pies on a baking sheet to catch drippings (mine didn’t drip, but better safe than sorry).  Then, I was supposed to bake at 375° about 20 minutes, then rotate the pies 180 degrees and finish baking at 350° another 20 minutes or until the center of the pie doesn’t jiggle much and the crust is dark brown…….I messed this part up and baked the entire time at 350°.  I did rotate my pies half way thru the baking time, that’s when I discovered I had started at the wrong temperature – and my pies were ready to come out about 15 minutes after I rotated them.

Regardless……the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Pie turned out delicious!  Not overly sweet and full of texture.

They were even more perfect on a plate with a little whipped cream on top!……like dunking your cookie in milk.

You can serve them warm or room temp, but we liked them warm a little better.  So the next day I put 1/2 a pie on a plate and microwaved for about 15 seconds, and it was perfect!

Do not to deny yourself the pleasure of this pie!
