I snagged this recipe from my mother's recipe box This is by far and away my favorite dessert my momma made when I was growing up. A word of warning: the recipe says 6-8 servings, but I'd suggest 10-12 servings because it's soooo rich! Here are my mom's notes & the recipe. January, 1985 - Bon Appetit Page 8 - RSVP I think I have finally tasted the ultimate chocolate chip cookie; funny thing is, it is not a cookie at all, but a pie - the chocolate chip pie served at the Whiffletree Inn in Ilion, New York. I would be willing to bet that I am not the only Bon Appetit reader who woud like to know how this dense and chewy treat is prepared. Ingredients:
