Butter Cookie Pie Crust Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• Roll dough out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the cookies and brown sugar in a food processor; pulse until the cookies form fine crumbs. Add 6 tablespoons of the melted butter and pulse a couple more times, until the mixture resembles wet sand. If the mixture seems dry, add an additional tablespoon of butter. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it over the bottom and up the sides. Bake until slightly dried, 7 to 8 minutes. Cool completely.
• For the pie filling: Beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla bean paste in a clean, cold bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently scoop half the whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and refrigerate. Scoop the other half of the whipped cream into a clean bowl. In the bowl the cream was whipped in (no need to clean it), beat the cream cheese on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the cookie butter and orange extract and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture, being careful not to overmix. Pour the mixture into the cooled pie crust and refrigerate until set, 2 to 3 hours.
• Using the pastry bag with whipped cream, decorate the top of the pie with small mounds around the perimeter. Garnish with the cashews and orange zest.

Steps:

• Place 1 package of cookies in a food processor and process to fine crumbs. Slowly add butter, with the processor running on low speed, and process until mixture resembles wet sand. Press mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and place in the freezer to set up, about 2 hours.
• Place second package of cookies in the food processor and process to fine crumbs. Slowly add butter, oil, brown sugar, white sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and salt as processor runs on low speed. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until cookie butter reaches the desired consistency.
• Add Neufchatel cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt to cookie butter and process until well combined. Set aside.
• Whip heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cookie butter mixture. Pour over pie crust and refrigerate until set, 8 hours to overnight.

Steps:

• Pulse the flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Add about one-third of the butter; process until the butter is combined. Pulse in the remaining butter in 5 or 6 pulses to form coarse crumbs. Add the vinegar; pulse quickly a few times while adding 1/3 cup ice water. Squeeze some dough between your fingers. It should just hold its shape; if it's still crumbly, quickly pulse in more ice water by the tablespoonful. (Do not overwork the dough.)
• Turn the dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Wrap the dough, then press and flatten into a thin round. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Roll out the dough into an 11-to-12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick, on a lightly floured surface. Center over a 9-inch pie plate. Fold in the edges and crimp as desired. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before using.
