Chocolate Cookie Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients

30 chocolate wafers (Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers, to yield about 1 1/2 cups crumbs)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Put the cookies in the container of a food processor; process them until they are finely ground.
Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl; combine crumbs, butter, salt, and vanilla; stir until the crumbs are moistened.
Press mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and all the way up the sides of the pan; pack tightly so crust is even and compacted.
Bake in a 350\u00b0 oven for 6-8 minutes or until crisp.
Let cool completely before filling.
May wrap crust in plastic wrap and freeze for 1 month.
