Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Fold in the chopped toffee bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a 12-inch log about 2 inches wide. Wrap the logs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 3 days.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Slice the chilled dough logs into 0.5-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store wrapped logs in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
