“Do you think it’s gross if I were to store some small kitchen appliances under the sink in the bathroom?”
Yeah, this was an actual question I called to ask my sister yesterday. I’m struggling here. I’m trying to unpack and get organized here in my new house. The problem is – although we gained square feet overall in the house we are living in now, this kitchen is about a third of the size of my last kitchen. And when you love all things kitchen like I do, you accumulate lots of tools and gadgets and pots and pans. This teeny kitchen just isn’t going to hold it all! I keep thinking I have a handle on it, and then find yet another box labeled “kitchen” and I want to cry because I don’t know where to put it all. I guess it’s time for some down-sizing of my kitchen things!
This past weekend, since I knew I was going to be moving out of my parent’s house, I went a little crazy with my mom’s cookbooks. My mom is like me, and has a bit of a cookbook addiction. I’ve loved having a whole new array of cookbooks to cook from, and even though I’m glad to have all of mine back, it was fun to go through different books. And then I started to panic – knowing that there were tons of recipes I had wanted to try before moving. I managed to whip out a few over the weekend, like this pie.
I had remembered seeing a cookie pie on Pinterest awhile ago, so when I came across this Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie in a cookbook of my mom’s, I knew I had to try it out. I had everything on hand, and went to work! If you are a cookie lover and a pie lover, this is definitely the dessert for you. It’s super rich, so I enjoyed my slice with a scoop of ice cream (and of course some chocolate syrup for good measure!) My dad absolutely loved this pie, and ended up eating most of it himself! It was delicious both when it was still warm, as well as when it had come to room temperature. The hardest thing was trying to pass by this pie sitting on the counter without stopping for another little sliver!

I’ve been wondering where to store my new griddler. Right now it’s just sitting on the floor in my office. But I may store it under my sink in the bathroom now. 🙂
Kristy says
I ran into the same kitchen dilemma when we moved. I have gadgets in cabinets and closets all over the place to get them to fit. (Not the bathroom though – LOL!)
You know I’m not a big fan of chocolate – but I have to say that first picture of the pie has me drooling. 🙂
teresa says
good luck with getting everything to fit! i feel like i have the same problem EVERY time we move.
oh this PIE, how amazing!
Joanne says
I don’t think it’s gross! but I have even less kitchen space than you do (I guarantee it) and will store anything anywhere.
OMG. This pie. I’ll be slivering it away this weekend.
Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons says
I may or may not have just drooled a little 😉 ohmygosh and I’m totally running out of space for appliances and such! I got these little pull out trays that you install under the sink and in other low cabinets and it makes it easy to find and sort things! Highly highly recommend them! <3
so excited to have found your blog today! off to follow you on twitter/pinterest! <3
Cassie @ Bake Your Day says
Definitely a recipe worth saving. This sounds amazing! I hope you are getting settled in!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
This looks wonderful and I like that it’s one big pie (not individual cookies) which is a time saver to make and throw it all in one pie pan.
““Do you think it’s gross if I were to store some small kitchen appliances under the sink in the bathroom?” <– Things like that juicer in a box, the as seen on tv gadget, things like that you may not use lots and need a home for, I say go for it. I store my graveyard of appliances in my coat closet in the front hall.

I have wanted to make a cookie pie for a long time. This recipe looks perfect since I love chocolate and peanut butter! Also I just moved recently and I am having the same problem. I live in a bigger place with more storage in certain areas of my home but lack storage and space in other areas. One thing I did to help me organize was to get a storage ‘pantry’ from Target. It is set up in my office and I have all my blogging props, tools, etc. in this cabinet. These are things that I don’t need to prepare my dish or plate it just all the ‘extra’ things I use. Hope you get settled soon! I know I am still working on it.
Katrina says
Mmm this is my kind of pie!
Annalise says
I so want a slice of this pie right now! I’ve made a tollhouse pie before (and loved every bite of it) and I love the idea of adding peanut butter. Mmmmm.
Good luck with the move! I totally sympathize with the tiny kitchen, so hard for foodies like us!
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray says
Mmm, I have seen chocolate chip cookie pies, but I’m a biiiig fan of adding those peanut butter chips! 🙂
Erin says
I have problems finding space for everything in my kitchen as well. A lot is stored in the laundry closet off the kitchen. But I also live in apt which have notoriously small kitchens.
Love this cookie pie, especially since it has peanut butter in it!
Abby says
Looks amaaaazing. Perfect with a glass of cold milk!
Rosa says
What an irresistible dessert! Your pie must be insanely delicious.
Cheers,

I have seen cookie pies like this before but haven’t made one yet. I’ve pinned a pic of your delectable looking treat, so I’ll definitely be making this in the future! 🙂 Good luck settling in to your new home!
