Food Critic’s Review:

These cookie pies were really good! I sampled one with oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough inside, and it was perfect because the pie crust helped to contain all the chocolaty goodness that otherwise would’ve been all over my hands! Additionally, the piecrust, which is shaped more as a pouch than a traditional pie, brings cookies/pies to the realm of foods available in pouch form. It’s like a dessert hot pocket that isn’t filled with boiling hot lava, but instead is full of love and awesomeness. Definitely give this recipe a shot! Don’t have a kitchen? Find someone with one and borrow it/convince them to make it for you!
