I really liked it! I didn't do the drizzle on top, but I thought the nutella and hazelnuts added a good "fullness" to the cookie. Very good!

These cookies were a big hit! I used fewer chocolate chips, and instead of drizzling nutella on top, I used peanut butter. Yum!

These cookies are simply to die for! I really can't tell you how much we enjoyed these. I used Nestle Swirled chocolate and caramel chips instead of regular chocolate chips and I skipped the drizzle on top. I didn't think they really needed it; they were so delicious without it. Thank you so much for this recipe!
