Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with brown sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer to do this or mix by hand with a wooden spoon.
Beat in egg and vanilla until well-combined.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
Gradually add to butter mixture in two additions. Mix just until a soft dough forms.
Stir in chocolate chips and Skor Toffee Bits.
Shape dough and roll by hand into a 7-inch long log and wrap in plastic wrap. The roll will be about 3 inches tall.
Place in the refrigerator side by side so the logs do not flatten. Refrigerate for 1 and 1/2 hours.
Working with 1 log of dough at a time (leave the others in the refrigerator), use a sharp knife to cut into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Bake, one sheet at a time in 375°F oven for 11-13 minutes. The cookies will be golden and the edges lightly browned, with the middled just a little soft when you take them out of the oven.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Enjoy!
