For the Cookies:

- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Stir in the toffee bits until evenly distributed (the dough will be stiff).
- Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned.
- Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

- Add enough half-and-half to reach the desired spreading consistency.
- If desired, stir in more toffee bits into the frosting for an extra toffee crunch.
