I wanted to make some cookies today to say "Thank you" to a friend who has helped me out these past few months. I love toffee bits, and these cookies are sweet and tasty.
Frosted Toffee Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup English toffee bits
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup English toffee bits
For Cookies: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in toffee bits (dough will be stiff). Using a medium cookie scoop, drop scoops of cookie dough onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 9 minutes (do not brown).
For Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, vanilla and milk. May need more or less milk. A hand mixer works well to get it nice and fluffy. Frost cookies. Immediately sprinkle with toffee bits, pressing down gently so they will stick on the frosting.

Dishy your blog template is beautiful! The bread looks really yummy--I'll have to try it with WW flour. And what a lucky, lucky friend that gets those cookies!
Oooh, nice new template! I love the flowers! I still need to try that no-knead bread...according to my brain, bread=kneading!
Dish, dinner at your house always looks so good! I have never tried that soup, but will have to soon!
Your new layout is so pretty, Dishy!
I agree - the new template is pretty! I wish it was on my bathroom walls! LOL
