Bliss! The hazelnut flavor was very subtle in these cookies; not overpowering, which I really enjoyed. And there was certainly no shortage of chocolate chips in each bite, which my husband enjoyed. In my opinion, even though there are chocolate chips in this cookie, it's not really for children. I don't think they would be able to pick up the more gourmet flavor of this cookie. My son liked them, but to him, it was just another chocolate chip cookie. Save this recipe for the adults that will appreciate it. :)
