This recipe is 1 1/2 times the original recipe. I felt like the original recipe wasn't enough for a good pie, but doubling it was way too much. This seems to be perfect! My husband's sisters have experimented with adding peppermint extract or peanut butter to the recipe, but I'm a minimalist and love the original just the way it is!
1 1/2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar
4 1/2 Tbsp Cocoa
3/4 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 pre-baked pie crust
Cream butter, sugar, and cocoa together. Stir in vanilla. Add eggs - one at a time - beating each egg for 3-5 minutes (a must!) Pour into pie crusts and chill for 1-2 hours, or until set up. Top with whipped cream and enjoy!

Pie Crust
1 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup oil
2 1/2 Tbsp cold water
Stir ingredients together, and mold into a ball. Place dough ball on one sheet of wax paper, press down to flatten it out, and then place another piece of wax paper on top. Roll dough out with a rolling pin. To pre-bake before adding fillings, poke holes all around dough with a fork, then bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Makes ONE pie crust.
