It's PIE Time

Just in time for the school "Throw a Pie in your Teacher's Face" campaign to raise money for the music program....I've decided to post my Favorite Pie Recipe!
Brooke's Class raised the most money and will get to throw a pie at their teacher and principal tomorrow - the last day of school! I just hope I can get there in time to video...
Chocolate Chip Pie (Paula Deen's Recipe)
What You'll need:
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup (2-sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts, optional
(Serve with Whipped Cream or Ice Cream)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) pie plates; set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Add flour mixture, a little at a time, and mix until fully combined. Fold in the 3 cups chocolate chips and, if desired, the walnuts.

Divide the dough between the prepared pie plates and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake about 30 minutes or until pies are golden and slightly firm to the touch but still soft. If the pies begin to darken too much before they are baked through, cover with foil and continue baking. Let pies cool completely on a wire rack.

Don't forget to lick the bowl...Blaine's favorite part!
