Using cookies to make pie crust?

Question

I know you can use graham crackers or vanilla wafers, both of with are thin and/or crispy cookies.

The cookie I was wondering about is thick and pretty soft in the middle. Could a cookie like that be used to make a crust similar to a graham cracker crust?

Answer 1

Sure, just crush it and add a bit of softened butter to bind it...

Answer 2

I made a pie crust with sugar cookie dough the other day - it turned out very nice! It gets a little puffy, but will settle back when it is cooling. Just take cookie dough recipe and thinly line the pie plate. Bake for the time your cookie recipe takes or bake it until its brown and crispy looking. I used it with a key lime pie recipe instead of the graham cracker crust. It was great.

Answer 3

I bet you can use Oreo's just crush them like you'd crush crackers.

Here's the link to a listing of pies and pie crusts on Kraft foods..I put cookie pie crusts in the search engine, hope this helps.
