Toffee Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients

•  1 cup salted butter, at room temperature
•  1/2 cup powdered sugar
•  2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•  2 cups all-purpose flour
•  1 cup mini chocolate chips
•  1/2 cup toffee bits

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Using an electric mixer on medium-high cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the flour, mixing just until a dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips and toffee bits.
3. Using your hands shape spoonfuls of cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared baking sheet one inch apart. Press down lightly on each ball to give cookies a slightly flat surface.
4. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the cookies are firm to the touch and just golden around the edges. Let the cookies cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving cookies to cooling rack. Repeat with remaining dough, making sure the baking sheets are completely cooled between batches.
5. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperatures for up to 3 days.
