Can I use homemade cookie dough instead of store-bought?

Yes, absolutely. Any cookie dough that holds its shape when pressed into the pan will work. Just make sure it's chilled before you use it so it's easy to press into the pie plate evenly.

What if I only want to make one pie?

You can cut this recipe in half. Use half the cookie dough, 14 Oreos, and half the brownie batter. Mix the brownie batter from a smaller box or just use half of a regular mix and store the rest.

Can I use a different pan size?

Yes, you can use two 10-inch pie dishes, two 9-inch round cake pans, or one 9x12-inch cake pan. Square cake pans will work in a pinch too.

How do I know when it is done baking?

The top should look set, and when you insert a toothpick into the middle, it will come out fudgy. Don't worry if it bakes a little longer than 20 to 25 minutes and the toothpick comes out with a fine crumb; the pie is still good, just better with a premature fudgy center.

Can this be made ahead of time?

Yes. Bake it one day, then store it covered at room temperature for the next day. It slices more cleanly once it has fully cooled and set.
