Ingredients

1 cup crushed cookies (e.g., vanilla wafers, graham crackers, or chocolate sandwich cookies)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

Instructions

Place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form, or pulse in a food processor.
In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter and sugar (if using). Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Use immediately as a topping, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt or cinnamon.
Toast the crumb topping in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes for a crunchier texture.
Store in the refrigerator if using fresh fruit or dairy toppings.
