Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package gingersnap cookies
0.33 cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Prepare all of your ingredients.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Set aside 12-18 whole gingersnap cookies. Crush the remaining cookies until you have 1 1/2 cups of fine crumbs. Save any extra cookies for another use.
Combine the gingersnap crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until well mixed.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Place whole gingersnap cookies upright around the edge of the springform pan, gently pressing them into the base, slightly overlapping if needed, so they stand securely.
Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is set, about 7 minutes. Let the crust cool completely before adding the filling.
