  • 18 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Place the cookies in the container of a food processor; process them until they are finely ground.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbs, butter, salt, and vanilla; stir until the crumbs are moistened.
  • Press mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan and all the way up the sides of the pan, packing it tightly with you fingertips so it is even and compacted.
