Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie

I had never heard of this pie before, but after my husband had this cookie pie at a restaurant I had to find the recipe. It seems to be a famous as there were a lot of recipes on the web. This one was on the Nestle’s web site. My husband is one happy camper. Speaking of camping this would be awesome to make in an outdoor Dutch oven too. The texture of the cookie dough is more like pecan pie than cookies as there is no baking soda and not as much flour.
