INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE CRUST:
2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 to 8 tablespoons cold water
FOR THE FILLING:
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
FOR ASSEMBLING THE PIES:
1 egg

DIRECTIONS:
TO MAKE THE PIE CRUST:
Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal and the butter is the size of small peas.
Add 2 tablespoons of water and continue mixing. Add more water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a disc. Wrap each disc tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
