Peanut Butter Toffee Cookies

Peanut Butter Toffee Cookies
Martha Stewart

Ingredients

Makes 24.

* 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for fingertips
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
* 1 large egg
* 2 chocolate-covered toffee candy bars (1.4 ounces each), chopped


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add peanut butter and egg; beat until smooth. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture. Stir in toffee.
3. Using 1 level tablespoon batter per cookie, drop onto baking sheets, about 1 inch apart; flatten slightly with floured fingertips. Bake until edges are golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies immediately to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 2 days.
