Graham Cracker Crust, Cookie Crust

Directions

1. 1
   Place the cookies into a food processor and pulse until you have cookie crumbs. Alternatively, you can place them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to roll back and forth over the cookies until they are crumbs.
2. 2
   Pour the crumbs into a medium bowl. You should have about 2 cups of crumbs.
3. 3
   Stir in the granulated sugar and the melted butter until all of the crumbs are completely coated with butter.
4. 4
   Firmly press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of your pie plate or baking dish. The bottom of a glass or a measuring cup can be helpful to press the crumbs into an even layer.
5. 5
   This crust can be used unbaked or baked. If you are baking the crust, bake at 375 F (190C) for 8 minutes. Allow to cool completely before filling the crust. A baked crust will have a crunchier texture and slightly more toasted flavor. If you are keeping the crust unbaked, place it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up before filling it.
