I just made these cookies and they are indeed amazing!
For anyone who is diabetic, watching their calories, etc. these cookies work great using Splenda, Splenda Brown sugar blend and Brummel and Brown. I prefer this over Smart Balance as I find it to be creamier, taste more like butter and doesn't separate and get watery like Smart Balance does, plus the calorie content is the same or better. I'm just as pleased and satisfied as I would be with the original recipe. I left the oats whole for the chewy texture. I was worried with all of the sugar etc. that they would be too sweet, but they're just right.

The texture is amazing, cooked mine on an Air Bake cookie sheet sans parchment paper. They turned out a bit fluffy, but with crispy bottoms and edges. The fluffiness may be from the substitutions, but it wasn't bad and the candy and nuts gave them substance.

I will definitely make these often! Cheers Giada, you're the best!

Perfect recipe! These cooked in about 16-17 minutes for me and made exactly 4 dozen. Great for the holidays.

This recipe is incredible! Some of the best cookies I have ever made. They were the perfect density, crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I bought pre-chopped hazelnuts and it made the recipe really quick to throw together. Not sure if it was the size of my cookies or my oven, but they took about 22 minutes to turn golden brown. This seems like the perfect cookie base to add whatever other candy items you'd like. My fiance and I can't stop eating them!

These cookies were excellent! Do not change anything about them, all of the ingredients went together perfectly-the hazelnuts, the heath bars, sugars, YUM!!!! My family ate 3 batches of them in just a few days, they LOVED them. These are probably some of the best cookies that I have ever made. However, one thing to consider when buying ingredients for this recipe. Try to find already shelled hazelnuts as shelling them with a nutcracker is a pain. I made the mistake of buying nuts with the shells still on them (I had never cooked with hazelnuts and was not very familiar with them and it took a big effort to crack all of the nuts. Some small pieces of the hard shells actually got in the cookies accidentally! Uh-oh...! But other than that, they were great! MAKE THEM! You won't be sorry.

I use this cookie to bribe the pool guard @ my condo into letting my grandchildren bring toys into the pool. He went home & told his Mom I gave him the BEST cookies he ever had! You MUST try them!!!! And they freeze perfectly.

I've been making these every year since I first saw this episode! They are different than most cookies, with the different flavors, I love the hazelnuts, and they are ALWAYS soft & moist! Great cookie recipe!

Great cookies! I omitted the nuts and increased the amount of toffee by a tablespoon, but it still tasted fantastic! I will be making these again to give away during the holidays, as they were a huge hit. Thank you Giada!

Great! Made the dough one day before making them. Baked up beautifully and in exactly 15 minutes. Parchment make it super easy and no clean-up. In fact the 5 minute cooling off time in the baking pan wasn't necessary as they easily slid off the parchment onto the rack (and yes they held their shape. Can't wait for the Grandsons to try these. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
