Sparkling Butter Toffee Cookies

I’ve forgotten where I got this recipe but it’s a really tasty one that is easy to make. – Kathy

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• ¾ cup butter, softened
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup English or almond toffee bits
• Sugar

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350° F. 
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, egg and vanilla.  Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1-2 minutes). 
3. Add flour, baking powder and baking soda; reduce speed to low.  Beat until well mixed (1-2 minutes). 
4. Stir in toffee bits by hand.
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar. 
6. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Flatten each with bottom of glass to 1 ½ inch circles.  (If glass sticks, dip glass in sugar.)
7. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are just lightly browned.  (Do not over bake.)  Sprinkle with sugar while warm.  Cool completely.

Note

• English toffee bits and chips (or Heath Bar bits) are available in the baking section of large supermarkets. 
• Cookies may also be flattened with a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
