Chocolate and Toffee Cookies

*Chocolate and Toffee Cookies*
Makes about 3 dozen or so

Tasty little bites that are a delicious twist on the traditional Chocolate Chip cookie.  Filled to the brim with tasty chocolate covered Toffee Bits and semi sweet chocolate bits.  They make the perfect gift for that special someone on your list.

6 ounces (3/4 cup packed) Light brown Muscovado Sugar
4 ounces (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1 large free range egg
6 1/2 ounces (1 1/4 cups) plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
pinch salt
6 ounces semi sweet chocolate, cut into small bits
5 ounces chocolate covered toffee bars, hammered into small bits with a rolling pin
(About 5 28g Dime bars, which are like Skor bars in America)
(I hammer them while they are still in the pack, before I open them)

Preheat the oven to 190*C/375*F/ gas mark 5.  Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.  Set aside.

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.  Beat in the vanilla and egg.  Sift together the flour and baking soda.  Stir into the creamed mixture, just until blended.  Stir in the chocolate bits and chocolate covered toffee bits.

Drop by the heaped teaspoonful onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each one.

Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let sit for several minutes before scooping off onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely.  Store in an airtight container.
