Chocolate Cookie Crust

A rich-tasting crust.

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 oven for 6-8 minutes or until crisp.

Let cool completely before filling.

May wrap crust in plastic wrap and freeze for 1 month.
