Chocolate and butterscotch chip cookie pie!

Ok, after drooling at the recipe and pics for almost a week, i managed to get down to trying out the chocolate chip cookie pie i found on bakerella. ( credits for this recipe goes to http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2008/04/chocolate-chip-cookie-pie-oh-my.html). Sadly, what i got looks nothing at all like the pics i saw, go take a look, i swear anyone will drool straight away.

Here goes :






Yeps, so here are my first pics of my first attempt at baking since setting this blog up. I really need alot more camera skills, and I gotta learn how to present my food better. This was quite an easy recipe to make at least, but.. the recipe gave the amount of butter in cups! how does anyone measure a cup of butter?? so I tried and converted to grams myself based on some weird idea I had. and I ended up adding too much butter to the pie. It was really oily when i first took it out of the pan, but luckily most of that excess oil din stay on it when it was transferred to the plate. The recipe itself is quite foolproof though, just take everything, and mix them with a mixer in the right order. Almost impossible to screw up.

In the end, the taste was quite alright, I think i made it abit too sweet though, I have this tendency to always add slightly more sugar than called for, and I added Nestle Butterscotch Morsels as well, firstly since I poured all the choc chips I had in and it still was not enough ( I think) and also cause I just wanted an excuse to use those butterscotch chips ive been nibbling on each time I walk past the jar sitting on my dining table.

I considered making my own chocoloate syrup to top off the pie, and then eat it with ice cream, but on the first sampling, I realised, all that sugar will probably get someone killed if they so much took a slice of it, so Ill leave that till the next time i try this recipe again. And, Ill make sure I actually bother to make a pie crust ( when I learn how to ) to line the cookie.


Yeps,my first official baking post! Thanks to all who dared to try it and told me it tasted fine =)

P.S
HJ- If i ever do this again, Ill make sure ur the first person who gets to try it.
