Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

Yes, I came up with the title on my own. But as it implies, there were some goodbyes and some deliciousness. BF recently put in his 2 weeks notice to move on to more exciting things and today was his last day! He never once has asked me to bake something for him to take to work in the 2 1/2 years he's been there, but knowing he was leaving, he wanted to send his coworkers off with a taste of what they would be missing. So what better way to say goodbye then with BF's all-time favorite toffee chip cookies. Let me tell you, making 25 dozen of these babies for a CORPORATE sized business is no laughing matter. According to BF, they were gone in seconds. And taking a look at them, why wouldn't they be?

EDIT: These guys are made from the recipe right off the back of Heath's Bits 'O Brickle Toffee Bits

Brickle Drop Cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 1/3 cups (8 oz pkg) Heath Bits 'O Brickle toffee bits

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease cookie sheet and set aside.

Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until blended. Add eggs and beat well until combined. Stir together flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a separate bowl. Gradually add dry mixture to wet mixture until well blended. Stir in toffee bits.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly and remove to a wire rack. Cool completely. Makes about 6 dozen (I make my bigger so I only get about 4-5 dozen from the recipe).
