Ingredients in a Cookie Crust

You only need TWO ingredients for this recipe:

1. Chocolate Chip Cookies: I recommend using a store-bought crunchy cookie, like Chips Ahoy. You can use any brand but you’ll want it to be a crunchy cookie, not a soft one.

You can even use ANY kind of similar cookie – even if it’s not chocolate chip (like sugar cookies or oatmeal!)

2. Butter: I always use unsalted butter, but you can easily substitute salted in this recipe. Melted butter is best for making cookie crusts.

How to make a Chocolate Chip Cookie Crust

This will take you less than 10 minutes!

1. Cookies: Crush your cookies (see below for options) to a fine crumb.

2. Butter: Add the crumbs to melted butter. Stir with a fork so the butter gets easily incorporated.

3. Pan: press into a 9-inch pie plate.

Do the Cookie Math: how many cookies do you need to make a cup of crumbs? About 9 Chips Ahoy size cookies makes approximately 1 cup of cookie crumbs.

How do you crush cookies for a pie crust?

You can crush the cookies one of two ways:

• Food Processor: place the cookies in a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb.
• By Hand: place the cookies in a large gallon size bag and seal all but 1-inch of the bag (to allow air to escape). Roll with a rolling pin and a bit of strength to crush to a fine crumb.

Tips/FAQ

• Pan Size: this crust works best in a 9-inch pie plate or you can press it into the bottom only of a 8-inch or 9-inch square pan.
• Once in the pan, chill to set while making desired filling.
• Does the pie crust need sugar? This one does not need sugar because chocolate chip cookies are already sweet enough.
• Do you have to bake the crust? Nope, it’s great to use for all no-bake pies.
