These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably use less sugar in the cookie dough next time.

I'm not a big fan of Nanaimo bars, but these were actually pretty good. The custard layer was especially good.

These cookies were easy to make and turned out great! I used a different type of chocolate for the ganache topping, but it still tasted delicious.
