toffee bit cookies

I get nervous when I bake cookies because they often don't look like the photo that enticed me into making them in the first place.  Not so with this recipe.  This recipe turned out fantastic and they taste how they look.  I couldn't name them "Heath" toffee bit cookies because I had leftover homemade English Butter Toffee which I used for the inside of the cookie but I also had some Heath bits in the cupboard so I used those to roll them in before baking.  I let my 3-year old sample both kinds of toffee bits and he said the homemade bits were the best.  That's my boy!  Either way you can't go wrong.  Just make them and eat them up (and share a few).  Cookies always taste better when you share them.  At least that's what I tell my kids.
