Cookie Crusts For No Bake Pies
Why I Love This Recipe
At 1st I just thought there was only graham cracker and oreo cookie crusts. But after googling and experimenting I found that almost any crisp cookie will work! :)
Ingredients You'll Need
1 1/2- 2 cups crushed cookie crumbs (most recipes call for 2 cups)
Up to 6 TBS Butter- melted
Up to 1/4 cup Sugar
*Opt: up to 1 tsp cinnamon
*Note: Use crisp cookies only no soft cookies!
No chips or frosting or anything that will melt!
Scrape cream filling out of sandwich cookies
On any cookie that is high in butter content (butter cookies) you may need less butter
Cookies w/ nuts or seeds are fine they don't melt

Add melted butter 1 TBS at a time until mix forms a ball w/out falling apart
Taste and add sugar 1 TBS at a time until it tastes good to you
