Preparation method:
1. Grease a 22 cm round mold with a bit of butter and line it with baking paper (on the bottom and sides).
2. Use a food processor to crush the Hookies Dragons cookies.
3. In a bowl, mix the crushed cookies with the butter (at room temperature) and press this mixture into the base of the round mold.
4. Bake the tart base in the oven at 180°C for about 15-17 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
