Toll House Derby Tart

Directions

1. The famous cookies, created by accident years ago at a New England inn called The Toll House, have become a sweet American institution and have spawned any number of equally chocolate- spangled treats. Naturally the folks at Nestl6 , who purchased the Toll House name and made it famous, feel they own the chocolate chip franchise, and among the many variations on the theme they have developed, this blondie/cookie pie stands out.
2. *If using frzn pie shell, use deep dish style; thaw completely. Place on cookie sheet; increase baking time to 70 min.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In large mixer bowl, beat Large eggs at high speed 5 min, till foamy. Add in flour, sugar and brown sugar; beat till well blended. Blend in melted butter. Stir in NESTLE Toll House semi-sweet chocolate morsels and walnuts. Pour into pie shell. Bake 1 hour or possibly till knife inserted halfway between edge and center comes out clean, and top is golden. Serve hot with whipped cream or possibly ice cream, if you like.
4. MAKES 8 servings
5. GILDING THE LILY: Despite the long association of walnuts and chocolate chips, I really prefer this pie when it's made with pecans. By way of accompan-iment, ice cream is good, but coffee ice cream is better.
