Ingredients

1 cup crushed cookies (e.g., vanilla wafers, shortbread, or graham crackers)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine crushed cookies, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix until evenly moistened.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden and fragrant.
Let cool completely on the baking sheet. The crumble will crisp up as it cools.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips

For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg.
Use any leftover cookies or even stale cookies for this recipe.
Sprinkle over ice cream, pudding, or use as a pie crust alternative.
