When it comes to Easter desserts, there are plenty of beautiful cakes and colorful candy displays, but nothing—and I mean nothing—hits that nostalgic, indulgent sweet spot quite like an Easter Cookie Pie. Imagine the best parts of a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie married to all the joy and pastel prettiness of an Easter candy basket. It’s buttery, soft, loaded with festive mix-ins, and just the right amount of over-the-top. Basically, it’s the dessert equivalent of putting on fuzzy bunny ears and saying, “Let’s have some fun.”

And if you’re building the ultimate Easter dessert table, why not pair this cookie pie with adorable Cinnamon Roll Bunnies for breakfast or brunch? They’re as charming as they are tasty!

What Is an Easter Cookie Pie?

Let’s break it down: a cookie pie is exactly what it sounds like—a giant cookie baked in a pie dish. The edges get perfectly golden and crisp while the center stays soft, chewy, and just the tiniest bit gooey (in the best way possible). The Easter twist comes in with all the seasonal candy and bright pastel sprinkles you can toss into the mix.

This dessert has big energy. It’s cozy and nostalgic, like something your grandma might have whipped up with a little help from the Easter Bunny. But it’s also playful and modern, totally Instagram-worthy with its candy-studded top and colorful vibe. Bonus idea? Serve it next to an Easter Bunny Punch for the full pastel party effect.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll want to have on hand before diving in:

Butter: Softened, unsalted butter is the base of this cookie pie’s rich, decadent texture.
Brown Sugar & White Sugar: A combo of both gives you the ideal balance of chewy and crisp.
Egg + Egg Yolk: The yolk is key for that soft, melt-in-your-mouth center.
Vanilla Extract: Don’t skip this—it brings warmth and enhances every sweet note.
All-Purpose Flour
Baking Soda & Salt
Chocolate Chips: You can even use red velvet chips to play off a Red Velvet Cake Pop flavor vibe!
Easter Candy & Sprinkles

You can totally play with the mix-ins depending on what you’ve got in the pantry or what candies your kids haven’t eaten yet.

How to Make Easter Cookie Pie

Step 1: Prep That Pan
Start by greasing a 9-inch pie dish (or a springform pan for easier slicing). Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars
Mix until light and fluffy. It sets the foundation for a perfectly chewy bite.

Step 3: Add the Egg, Yolk, and Vanilla
That extra yolk makes all the difference. Think molten cookie center vibes.

Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients & Combine
Be careful not to overmix—it keeps everything tender and gooey.

Step 5: Fold in the Fun
Think mini eggs, pastel M&Ms, and even crushed Chocolate Pretzel Nests for a sweet-salty twist!

Step 6: Bake
Pop it in for 25–30 minutes. Edges should be golden, center slightly soft.

Step 7: Cool & Devour
Let it set a little, then slice warm. Serve with ice cream if you’re feeling fancy. Or enjoy it solo—it holds up beautifully.
