I love to cook and especially bake. When I was a child learning to cook, I would pull out my Mom’s red Betty Crocker cookbook and find something to make. Of course I would scavenge the pantry for the ingredients. If I couldn’t find them I would keep looking for a recipe that we had all the ingredients to make.

One of my Mom’s specialities when I was growing up was Chocolate Chip pie. She found the recipe on the back of a bag of chocolate chips. She made it almost everytime we had company. She once  experimented by adding peanut butter chips to the recipe, and we loved this pie too.

I have made this pie twice in the last 7 days. I made it Friday night when we celebrated Matthew’s 2nd work anniversary and again for my good friend Millie yesterday. Millie’s family had eaten half the pie before I left. It is best served warm with a good vanilla ice cream. I usually buy Breyers all natural vanilla to put on top.

Here is the recipe for Chocolate Chip Pie:

2 large eggs
1 1/2 sticks of butter softened (don’t use margarine)
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup chocolate chips

1 pie crust

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream butter and sugars. Add flour and mix. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into an unbaked pie crust. Bake for 55-60 minutes until a knife inserted halfway between the crust and the center comes out clean. You may want to put a piece of aluminum foil over the pie to keep the crust from getting too brown.

Enjoy!
