Crush 10 ounces of shortbread cookies in a plastic bag using a rolling pin until they are fine but not super fine.

Add the crushed cookies to 1/2 cup melted butter and mix with a fork until it resembles wet sand.

Press the mixture into an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch pan to form a thick crust.

In a large bowl, add 1 can (20 ounces) of crushed pineapple with juices.

Add 1 box (3.4 ounces) of instant vanilla pudding to the pineapple and stir together without adding milk.

Fold in 4 ounces (1/2 container) of Cool Whip into the pineapple pudding mixture until combined.

Spread the pineapple filling over the crust in the pan.

Top with the remaining Cool Whip and spread evenly.

Sprinkle reserved shortbread crumbs on top for garnish.

Refrigerate for a few hours to set before slicing and serving.
