Ingredients
- 8 ounces finely crushed cookie crumbs (gingersnaps, chocolate cookies, vanilla wafers or graham crackers)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (to taste depending on cookies chosen)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Put the crumbs, sugar and salt in the Cuisinart® mixing bowl. Attach the flat mixing paddle. Mix on Speed 2 to combine, about 30 seconds. While mixing, slowly add melted butter and mix until crumbs are totally coated, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a pie plate and press evenly into bottom and up the sides of the plate. Use the bottom of a glass or custard cup to firmly tamp down the bottom of the crust. Bake until firm to the touch 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
