Cream Butter & Sugars:
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, powdered sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Add Egg & Vanilla:
Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Add Toffee Bits:
Fold in the toffee bits evenly throughout the dough.
Shape & Chill:
Divide dough in half and roll into two logs about 2 inches in diameter.
Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
Optional: Roll the logs in extra toffee bits or turbinado sugar before slicing for extra texture.
Preheat Oven & Slice Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice chilled dough into ¼-inch thick rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
