cookie crust

Crumbled biscuit base

Cookie crust is the base of a pie or cheesecake made from crushed cookies rather than traditional pastry dough.

Graham cracker crust is the most common variety, though Oreos, gingersnaps, and other cookies work similarly.

The crumbs are typically bound with butter and pressed into the pan: The recipe calls for a chocolate cookie crust.
