Ingredients:

For the Cookies	For the Filling
1 cup butter	1 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar	4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar	1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups granulated sugar	3-5 tbsp half-and-half
2 eggs	Optional: more toffee bits
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

For the Cookies:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and dark brown sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
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.

For the Filling:

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling.
Cream together the butter in a mixing bowl until smooth and light.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, blending well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
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.
Spread the frosting onto the bottom halves of the cooled cookies.
Top with the remaining cookies to create delicious Toffee Sandwiches!

Storage Instructions:

Tips & Tricks:

For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some toffee bits on top of the frosting before sandwiching the cookies.
Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be set but not overly browned to maintain a chewy texture.
Customize the filling by adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce.
