Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the unbleached flour, firmly packed brown sugar, and chopped nuts; stir until evenly distributed.
  3. Add the softened butter or margarine to the dry ingredients.
  4. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with no large lumps of fat remaining.
  5. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into two unbuttered shallow baking pans (such as 9x13 inch jelly roll pans).
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture is lightly golden and set.
  7. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pans.
  8. Once cooled, crumble the baked mixture into coarse crumbs.
  9. Transfer the crumbs into a large airtight container, label as Cookie Crumb Crust Mix, and store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 weeks.
  10. To use for a pie crust: Press approximately 2 cups of the crumb mix into a 9-inch pie plate and bake according to your specific filling recipe's instructions.
