This Pistachio & White Chocolate Cookie Pie is a luxurious, bakery-style dessert that combines the best of cookies and pie in one stunning creation. A soft, chewy golden cookie crust is loaded with crunchy pistachios and creamy white chocolate chunks, hiding a rich pistachio cream center that melts in your mouth. Topped with a swirl of pistachio buttercream and elegant white chocolate garnishes, this impressive dessert is perfect for birthdays, holidays, or any sweet celebration.

Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup light brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chunks

  • 1/3 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup pistachio spread (or pistachio butter)

  • 1/4 cup white chocolate, chopped

For the Topping:

 

  • 1/2 cup pistachio buttercream (or vanilla buttercream tinted and flavored with pistachio)

  • Extra white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the base and sides of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

  2. Make the cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  3. Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture to form a dough.

  4. Fold in mix-ins: Stir in white chocolate chunks and chopped pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  5. Form the crust: Press about two-thirds of the cookie dough into the prepared pan, pushing it slightly up the sides to form a deep-dish crust.

  6. Add the filling: Spoon pistachio spread into the center of the crust and smooth it out evenly. Sprinkle chopped white chocolate over the top of the filling.

  7. Seal with dough: Press the remaining cookie dough gently over the top to cover the filling and form a pie lid. Smooth the edges to seal.

  8. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cookie crust feels just set in the center. Cool completely in the pan.

  9. Decorate: Once cool, pipe pistachio buttercream around the edge of the pie. Garnish with extra chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips for a bakery-style finish.

  10. Slice and serve: Carefully remove the cookie pie from the springform pan, slice into 10 generous wedges, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Let the pie cool fully before slicing for clean edges and structured servings.

  • You can use store-bought pistachio spread or make your own by blending roasted pistachios with a touch of oil and sweetener.

  • Swap white chocolate with dark chocolate chunks for a deeper flavor contrast.
