Notes
Tips For The Best Cookie Pie Crust
Use any sandwich cookies with cream filling. Leave the filling in the cookies when you break them up. The sugar from the filling helps bind the pie crust together.
Make sure there are no chunks of cookie. Grind the cookie crumbs up so they're fine. Large chunks will make the crust more likely to crumble.
Press the crust down firmly in the pie pan. The more companted it is the better it will hold together.
Freeze or bake to bind the pie crust together.
Storing
Wrap your cookie pie crust in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 3 months until you're ready to use.
