How to Make Chocolate Cookie Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Alternatively, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract.
  4. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened. The mixture should hold together when squeezed.
  5. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or your fingers to ensure an even crust.
  6. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before filling. For best results, chill the crust for at least 30 minutes before adding your filling.
  8. (Optional) Wrap the cooled crust tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw completely before filling.
