1 stick melted butter
1 egg
1 c sugar
2 c crushed graham cracker, vanilla wafers or Trader Joe's letter cookies

Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
Beat the butter and egg together, this is a MUST.   Then mix in the graham cracker and sugar.  Roll out mixture on a cookie sheet 1/8-1/4" thick.  Using a silicone baking mat works best.  Bake for 18 minutes  or until golden brown.  Let cool for a couple minutes.  Using a glass or cookie cutter, cut out circles. Dipping glass in sugar helps keep it from sticking.  Let cookies cool completely.  Then assemble cookies in an ice cream sandwich with your choice of ice cream.  If you want to make just a crumble on top of homemade ice cream just crush up the cooked sheet of batter and store in a ziplock for a few weeks.
