It is high drama mutiny at my house when I make any cookie other than traditional chocolate chip, but I managed to make these delicious little bites last week.  This recipe is a great one for satisfying a chocolate/peanut butter/crunchy/cookie craving.  It will cure any desire!  And I love anything with Heath toffee bits in it.  I use a small scoop for these so there are lots and lots to enjoy! 

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cup flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• ½ cup toffee bits

Directions

Preheat oven or grill to 350 degrees.  Whisk flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.  Set aside.  Using a mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla.  Mix in peanut butter.  Reduce mixer speed to low.  Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until just combined.  Fold in chocolate chips and toffee bits.  Use a small scoop to drop onto baking sheet.  Bake 10 minutes.
