Penzey's Cookie Dough Pie



Heather, Andy, and Cole
The fun of the Mum Festival weekend continued.  Saturday morning Heather, Andy, Cole and I walked in the parade.  We gave out candy canes with information on the Christmas in the Village Holiday Home Tour.  It was a bit odd to be wishing everyone a Merry Christmas in September.  But it was nice to get a long walk in and see so many smiling faces.


Back to recipes...Some friends recently enlightened me on Penzeys Spices.  There is a store in Columbus and several other cities.  I have not had the chance to actually visit the store.  However, I signed up for their catalog.  It came a couple of weeks ago and is amazing just to read through.  They give detailed descriptions of all their spices.  I never thought I would be so excited to read about spices.  The catalog also shares recipes.  I knew I had to make this recipe as soon as I saw it, Cookie Dough Pie!  It is absolutely amazing.  The inside stays gooey like cookie dough.  The pie went quickly.  I managed to get a picture before the last few pieces disappeared.  All seemed to really enjoy.

If you have leftovers, warm for 10-15 seconds in the microwave to get that warm cookie fresh from the oven taste.

Cookie Dough Pie...YUM!
