1/2 cup butter

Layers:

Melt butter in microwave and allow to cool slightly.  Combine the cookie crumbs and butter and toss together until mixed well.  Press 2 cups of the crumb mix firmly into a 9x9 square pan. 

Beat cream cheese and butter together until very creamy.  Slowly add powdered sugar until all mixed together.  Add the can of very well drained pineapple and cool whip and stir in with a spatula.  Spread the pineapple mix over the crust.  Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumb mixture on top.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
