Use a food processor for crushing the cookies for an even texture.
Press the crust firmly into the baking dish for a sturdy base.
Adjust the baking time slightly depending on your oven—check for a slight golden color.
For added flavor, mix in a pinch of salt with melted butter.
Keep an eye on the filling to prevent overbaking; you want it soft, not hard!
