I gave this 5 stars. I made a oreo cookie crust using this recipe. I halved the recipe as I thought it would make to much and next time I will make the full recipe and use what I need. I forgot to add the salt and vanilla extract. I had to add 2 tbl. more butter to make the crust but I always have to when making homemade crusts. I also forgot to bake the crust. It still turned out. Thanks for posting a really good recipe. Christine (internetnut)
