Ingredients

20 pecan shortbread cookies, processed into crumbs (I'd say probably a good 2 cups of crumbs)

Process cookies into crumbs in a food prcessor or crush in a heavy plastic bag with a rolling pin.

Cool completely before filling with your favorite filling.

COOKIE CRUST PECAN PIE 1969

Cookie Crust Pecan Pie 1969 image

This 1969 Pillsbury Bake Off winner was in Mom's recipe drawer. I was attracted to it because it does not have that gooey sickening center that pecan pie usually has. I love pecan pie, but hate that icky center. This might make something much more palatable. It must have been really good to win the whole bake off contest!!

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 roll refrigerated cookie dough (butterscotch nut, peanut butter, or sugar cookie dough -- or anything you like, really)
1 pkg (4 oz) instant butterscotch pudding mix
1 1/2 c pecan halves
3/4 c molasses
2/3 c milk
1 whole egg

Steps:

1. Slice cookie dough into 1/4-inch slices and spread on bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish.
2. Using fingers, press the dough over the bottom and 3/4 inch up the sides of the pan like a pie crust, leaving no holes.
3. In medium mixing bowl, combine pudding, pecans, molasses, milk and egg and mix well.
4. Pour mixture into crust
5. Bake 350 F for 30-35 minutes or until edges are deep golden and filling is set.
6. Cool, cut into squares, serve with a dollop of whipped cream if you desire.

Tips:

Use a combination of butter and shortening for the cookie crust. This will help to create a crust that is both flaky and tender.
Chill the cookie dough before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from spreading too much.
Bake the cookie crust until it is golden brown. This will help to ensure that the crust is fully cooked.
Use a variety of nuts in the pecan pie filling. This will add flavor and texture to the pie.
Bake the pecan pie until the filling is set. This will help to prevent the pie from being too runny.
Let the pecan pie cool completely before serving. This will help to allow the flavors to meld together.
