We had a bunch of leftover cookies last week. Seems that Nate sent too many cookies to Ojai and not enough to Goleta where they sold out in an hour.
I brought some of the crunchy plain cookies home in order to make a pie crust. I’d made a pie crust from almonds last Christmas so that my mom and I could eat some along with the rest of the family and it turned out really good. But that one was with almonds and this would be using the cookies.
My sister-in-law, Jan agreed to make the cheesecake and crust as I was busy packaging smoked almonds for Nate. She crushed the cookies then made a crust adding some sugar and melted butter then baked it empty for about 10 minutes.
The results were: too much oil came out from the crust and it was really soft. The crust did taste good but oil was in the pan under the crust. I think that I’ll try it again but not add any butter or maybe ¼ of what a recipe would call for.
Otherwise the cheesecake was really good!
