The Original Toll House Pie Recipe

This recipe was from Drew's Mom.  I just found it again.  This pie did turn out a bit better.  It just seemed creamier or something.  The ingredients (except 1/4 c less butter) were the same so it must be in the beating and mixing that made the difference.   

Toll House Pie

3/4 C butter

1/2 C brown sugar

1/2 C white sugar

2 eggs

1/2 C flour

1 C nuts (pecans or walnuts are best)

1 C chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars for 3 minutes.  Then add eggs and beat well again for 2 minutes.  Add flour and a pinch of salt and beat well again for 2 minutes.  Stir or beat in slowly the chocolate chips and nuts.  Put in 9" pie crust.  Bake at 325 for 45 - 50 minutes or until set in middle.

Beth's modifications:

I . . . 

Added 1 teaspoon vanilla when I added the eggs.  

Used freshly ground (on the finest setting) of white wheat.

Reduced white sugar to 1/8 C and used 2/3 C sucanat or rapadura (unrefined sugar) in place of the brown sugar.

Used Aldi brand semi-sweet chocolate chips and crispy pecans.
