Chocolate-coated toffee makes these cookies extra good.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 (1.4 ounce) chocolate-covered toffee bars, chopped small*

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine sugar, butter, egg and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (3 to 4 minutes). Add flour, baking soda and salt; reduce speed to low. Beat, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in chopped toffee by hand.
