April 18, 2008, Newsletter Issue #222: Cookie Crust

Tip of the Week

This easy pie crust is a great choice for beginning cooks. The crust is crumbly, slightly chewy, sweet and nutty - a perfect foil for almost any chilled filling.

1-1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter


Combine flour, nuts and brown sugar. Cut in butter until a crumb mixture forms. Do not form into ball; place crumbs in a 9" square baking pan, and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Cool the crumbs and then press firmly into a 9" pie pan.
