I absolutely HAD to post this recipe for Toll House Pie.  It is officially the most requested pie recipe in our home. This is the ONE food item requested for every Birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Millard Fillmore’s Birthday, etc. Well, you get the idea. Our two sons are grown men and they STILL request this pie for their birthdays. That makes this mom’s heart happy.

I received this recipe for Toll House pie from a friend named Cindi,  who I used to sing with in a church choir in Southern CA over 30 years ago. I’m sure she had no idea that it would become one of my most worn out recipe cards. It is such an easy recipe – and what a keeper!

Enjoy a slice of this pie, which is filled with chocolate chips, butter, pecans, and brown sugar, etc. I’m not kidding – this pie is decadent, rich, and sweet enough to put hair on your chest!

Chocolate has been drizzled all over the top of the baked pie.

The ingredients for Toll House pie are mixed together in a large bowl, and then are spread into a homemade or store bought pie crust (unbaked).

Decorate The Toll House Pie With Melted Chocolate

A Toll House pie is baked for an hour in the oven, and when it is done cooking and cooling, it is time to enjoy it!  I like to drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the pie after it has cooled a bit. That just helps to “fancy it up” a little bit before serving!

Once the Toll House pie has cooled, and the chocolate has firmed up on the top, slice it, and serve! You’re gonna LOVE it!

Dipped Gingersnaps

Chewy dipped gingersnaps, drizzled with (or dipped in) white and/or semi-sweet chocolate glaze are classic molasses cookies your family will love!Chewy dipped gingersnaps, drizzled with (or dipped in) white and/or semi-sweet chocolate glaze are classic molasses cookies your family will love!

This is one of my all-time favorite “go-to” cookie recipes: Dipped Gingersnaps! I ALWAYS make them at Christmas to give away to family and friends. We also end up making them year-round, because they are so easy and delicious!

These delicious molasses cookies are actually soft and chewy, so I’ve never really figured out why that have the word “snap” in them. Rather than waste any brain cells trying to figure it out, I’ve found it best to just go with it. I feel I’m better for it. Hooray for dipped gingersnaps!

How Many Dipped Gingersnaps Will This Make?

This recipe makes approximately 14 dozen dipped gingersnaps, which is a LOT. Never fear – you can easily half the recipe, if you’re not planning to feed an entire village, or eat them all by yourself.

These cookies also freeze very well, so I usually make the whole batch at once and then freeze some for another time. The molasses and ginger flavor permeates these delicious dipped gingersnaps!  If you choose to dip them in white chocolate icing or drizzle them with glaze, you won’t be sorry!

Dipped gingersnaps can also be drizzled with white chocolate icing as decoration.

Many Ways To Make Dipped Gingersnaps

I usually dip half of the cookie in a white chocolate icing, but they can also be drizzled with a light powdered sugar glaze or semi- sweet or white chocolate glaze. Both methods for either dipping or drizzling dipped gingersnaps are included in the printable recipe below.

Dipped Gingersnaps can be drizzled with chocolate and white chocolate icing.

You can even dip them in white chocolate, then give your kids some colorful sprinkles to add on top! Look at those cute dipped gingersnaps!

Whichever way you choose to decorate these delicious dipped gingersnaps, you will LOVE how they taste and how easy they are to make!  Hope you will give them a try. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you come back soon. Have a GREAT day.

Cuisine: American
Keyword: dipped gingersnaps
Servings: 14 dozen
Calories Per Serving: 55 kcal
Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Ingredients
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 TBSP. ground ginger (powder)
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Additional sugar
For dipped cookies:
  • 2 pkgs. (12 oz. each) vanilla baking chips
  • 1/4 cup shortening (Crisco)
For drizzle-glaze cookies:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tsp. warm water (or more till glaze is slightly thin)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and oil; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in molasses.
  3. In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix this very well.
  4. Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls (roll the dough between both hands to form a ball) and then roll the cookie ball in sugar (approx 1/3 cup, more or less) in a small bowl.
  5. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie springs back when touched lightly. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool.
  7. When completely cooled, you can either dip the cookies or drizzle a thin glaze over them...whatever you prefer. ENJOY!
  8. For dipping: Melt the vanilla chips with shortening in a small pan over low heat. Dip the cookies half way into the mixture, shake or let the excess drip off. Place on waxed paper or foil-lined baking sheets to harden.
  9. For drizzle-glazing: In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, vanilla and warm water till you have a slightly thin glaze, adding more sugar to thicken or a touch more water to thin. Place cookies on foil to catch the glaze that might run off the cookies. Drizzle the glaze on top of cookies. Let harden.
