“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!

This looks amazing!!

This recipe looks delicious, and I am dying to try it! I currently live in Singapore, and peanut butter chips aren’t available here. Fortunately, I brought some back from the US just for this recipe when I recently went home to the US. Now the problem is that I cannot find milk chocolate chips here. Would semi-sweet work? Should I make other modifications to accommodate semisweet? Alternately, could I chop up milk chocolate into chip size pieces? I’m don’t want to waste the peanut butter chips if semi sweet or milk chocolate pieces won’t do. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
Deborah says
@Ann Hayes, you could totally do semi-sweet chocolate chips. I don’t think you’d need to modify anything – it won’t be quite as sweet, but I think it would still be great!

I think it’s time for me to cook something with peanut butter for the first time. And this looks amazing!

Cookie + pie = delicious! Hope you get settled into your new kitchen and find places for everything you need. 🙂

Wow! This dessert looks fantastic, and decadent. Pretty much, this is everything a good dessert should be: rich, gooey, and rich.

Your fluted Cookie crust edges look so beautiful!! I made a toffee and chocolate chip pie awhile back and it was really good. I’m gonna have to pin this one and try it out soon 🙂
I know how you feel in your new kitchen. My last apartment had a ton of space and when we moved into our rental house I was crying and freaking out in the kitchen because I didn’t know where I was going to put everything. My mom came over the next morning and spent all day in the kitchen organizing for me 🙂 I would of been lost. I hope you can get some help and find a way to make it work. We were able to use some bookcases in the garage as a pantry and a lot of stuff went out there.
