Steps

1

Place cookies in food processor (with metal blade) and process cookies till they are a fine crumb. Or place cookies in zip lock bag and roll over with rolling pin (or heavy bottle) until all cookies are crushed to fine crumb. For the key lime pie crust I removed the cream center from almost all the cookies but this step is optional
2

Measures out the 1 1/2 cup cookie crumbs as there will extra...you can use this for garnish or save to sprinkle on yogurt or ice cream.
3

Dump out crumbs into pie plate (or whatever baking dish you are using) and drizzle melted butter over crumbs. Mix until the crumbs are moistened.
4

Press mixture onto bottom and up sides of pie plate. Try to make sure it is evenly pressed.
5

Bake on 350 for 5 to 10 minutes checking to make sure it doesn't brown too much.

Cool and use for your favorite recipes.
