- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch square or round baking pan. Bake for 5–7 minutes, then set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Layer
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add the egg and vanilla; beat until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
Spread the cookie dough evenly over the pre-baked crust. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 4: Cool, Top & Serve
Allow the pie to cool slightly. Drizzle with warm caramel sauce and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that true paradise pie experience!
