Heath English Toffee Bits Cookies

Note: There are two types of Heath toffee bits. One is called Bits 'o Brickle (just toffee) and one is called English Toffee Bits (milk chocolate and toffee). I got the recipe off the Hershey website and it called for just the toffee ones, but using the milk chocolate and toffee was awesome. With John now in young men's, I'm using this opportunity to make treats for his activity nights. I have a habit of buying "fun" baking chips (white chocolate, toffee bits, cinnamon chips) so have a few choices in my food supply to try.


TOFFEE BITS COOKIES
2 and 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 and 1/3 cups Heath toffee bits which is one bag
*Can use Bits 'o Brickle or English Toffee with Milk Chocolate

Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until well blended. Add eggs; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in toffee bits. Drop by rounded teaspoon on greased (or parchment paper lined) cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly; remove from sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Makes about 48 cookies.
