Mini Chocolate Chip-Toffee Cookies

Hello, holiday baking.
Hello, cute little cookies.
Hello, mini chocolate chips and toffee bits, all of you that fit into teensy teaspoon-sized balls of buttery dough.
And hello,  Evil Empire (what we call Walmart at my house). Maybe you do bring good things, like tree-shaped jars for gifting, along with your treacherous lines and "customer service."
Like all things cute and little, these took way longer to form into balls, flatten and bake in many, many batches.
But cuteness+sugar+butter in a jar to gift to coworkers, that was totally worth my Sunday afternoon.
Merry Christmas!

Adapted from Two Peas and Their Pod

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups mini chocolate chips
1 cup toffee bits
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda together. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract.
Slowly mix in the flour, until combined. Stir in mini chocolate chips and toffee bits.
Scoop out dough with a teaspoon. Place on baking sheet and slightly flatten with the palm of your hand.
