The clean cookie crust: one of Emmy’s fans’ most loved ways of enjoying our Coconut Cookies. Popularized by our loyal Instagram followers, our cookies double as a gluten free, vegan, non-GMO, and organic crust that acts as a base for infinite kitchen creations. The best part is the crust only requires one thing-any flavor of our cookies! Follow along for step by step instructions with pictures of how to make a #cleancookiecrust.
STEP 1
Line a baking pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper covers the sides of the pan in case you’d like to add filling.
STEP 2
Place 1 bag of cookies into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds or until soft and pliable. If the cookies have been sitting at room temperature and seem soft enough already, you can skip the microwave step.
STEP 3
Line the pan with the softened cookies. We used a small 6 in. X 2 in. square pan and an entire bag of Emmy’s (9 cookies) for a thicker crust, but you can experiment with fewer cookies for a thinner crust. If you’re using a larger pan, just add more cookies!
STEP 4
Using your fingers or a spoon, firmly press the cookies down, flattening them and smoothing out the crust’s surface until it has reached a uniform composition.
STEP 5
The crust is finished! Pop it into the freezer while you make a filling to add on top.
