your ingredient list calls for 1 1/4 cups of gingersnap cookies,
BUT in the recipe only add 1/2 cup of the pulse cookies.
Where do you add the remaining 3/4 cups?????
Hi Judy! After you pulse the gingersnap cookies, they should be reduced to about a 1/2 cup. If you have extra, you can always save them for a gingersnap pumpkin cheesecake or pie crust! Sorry for the confusion!
I don’t want to use a cast iron skillet. Alternative?
You can use a 10-inch baking dish for this!
