INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup sugar
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 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
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1-2 minutes). Add flour, baking powder and baking soda; reduce speed to low. Beat until well mixed (1-2 minutes). Stir in toffee bits by hand.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar. 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.)
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are just lightly browned. (Do not over bake.) Sprinkle with sugar while warm. Cool completely.
Tips: 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.
