how to make Crinkly Crackly Butter Toffee Sugar Cookies

Ingredients :

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup toffee bits (such as Heath Bits o’ Brickle)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Directions :

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2–3 minutes.
