Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup toffee bits
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the toffee bits.
Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls and then flatten them slightly. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Garnish: Once cooled, you can dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
