Grand Ola-- Cookies Dipped in Chocolate Ganache image

This decadent, healthy treat made using Quaker Granola containing oatmeal, nuts, raisins that a lot of fiber and low in sodium is just part of this delicious cookie. It has an optional dried fruit mix of blueberries, cherries, cranberries, plums. Use one or all or add raisins. Then you have a chocolaty goodness from both semi-sweet and bitter sweet chips inside and then the cookies dipped in rich creamy ganache. AND you don't need to pull out a mixer for this easy to make recipe! Unless you're making a drink. LOL! It is almost guilt free! :) The cookies can be made into smaller sizes making 40 just watch the cooking time.

These cookies were a little dry, but the ganache helped to make them more moist. I'll try using a different cookie recipe next time.

The ganache was a little too thick for my preference, but the cookies were delicious. I'll try thinning the ganache next time.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They're also very easy to make, so I'll probably make them again for parties or gatherings.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but these cookies were still delicious. The ganache was rich and decadent, but it wasn't too overpowering. The cookies were also soft and chewy, which I loved. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cookies are so easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love the way the ganache melts in my mouth. I've also tried dipping the cookies in white chocolate ganache, which is also delicious.
