How to Make Cookie Pie Crust

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel (or orange peel), and ½ teaspoon salt.
Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in 1 large egg yolk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and lightly set.
Let the crust cool completely in the pan before adding your favorite pie filling.
