Overall, these Carmelitas were pretty good. The crust was crispy and the filling was gooey and delicious. However, I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using a bit less sugar in the filling next time.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked them. The crust was crispy and the filling was gooey, but it wasn't as flavorful as I expected. I would recommend baking them for a few minutes less next time.
