Cookie Crusts

Cookie Crusts

For those that wish to make pie crusts from scratch, here is a few shortcuts for you. For Thailand I have to make these from scratch, and when in the states, I do in fact use the store bought crusts based on low cost and convenience. Here is 3 I have made and I will add more when I make them.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Cuisine American
Servings 1 9 inch pie crust

Ingredients
  

Chocolate Cookie Crust

  • 25 Oreo cookies, whole, meaning with the filling
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Gingersnap Cookie Crust

  • 32 gingersnap cookies
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 12 rectangular graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions
 

  • To make the crumbs, use a food processor, blender, or a great alternative is a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter (and sugar for the graham cracker crust), place in the baking dish and spread out evenly. Press down evenly with the bottom of a measuring cup or can.
  • Here is a Oreo cookie crust getting pressed into my 9 inch pie dish.
  • Here is a gingersnap cookie crust pressed into my 9 inch spring form pan. Spring form pans are definitely the easiest to prepare.
  • Optionally, you can bake the crust for 5-8 minutes, then allow to cool completely before using.

Notes

Low cost per crust.
