Lightly grease the back side of a largebaking sheet. Roll the dough out onto the baking sheet as thinly as possible so that the baked product will crumble easily. Bake crust at 375°F for 5 to 7 minutes. Let crust harden, then slide the cookie fromthe sheet and cool completely. Roll over the cookie with a rolling pinuntil it is crushed to a fine crumb. (There should be about 2 1/4 cups ofcrumbs.) Melt 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Mix it intothe crumbs and pack the mixture over the bottom and up the sides of a10-inch springform pan.

When I made this, I made individual cookie crumbcrusts for the Kit's Chocolate Mousse recipe by using a large muffinpan. Line each cup with waxed paper for easy removal.
