1/2 pint strawberries, thinly sliced
1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Combine cookie crumbs, granulated sugar,melted butter and egg white. Stir thoroughly with a fork. Press into tartlet tins, making sure to form strong edges. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden browned. Transfer to a cooling rack. When almost cool but still a bit warm, gently turn each tartlet over onto your hand and tap lightly. Remove tin,gently turn tarlet shell over and return to rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining tartlets.
