Toffee Nut Refrigerator Cookies

•1 cup soft butter

•1/2 cup brown sugar

•1/2 cup white sugar

•1 egg

•1 teaspoon vanilla extract

•2 1/2 cups flour

•1/4 teaspoon salt

•1 cup toffee bits (I used the packaged Skor bits)

•1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

1.Cream butter.

2.Add sugars, beating well until light.

3.Beat in egg and vanilla extract.

4.Add flour, salt and toffee bits, mixing just until blended together.

5.Divide dough in half.

6.Form each half firmly into a log about 2 inches in diameter.

7.Sprinkle about 1/4 cup chopped pecans evenly on a 12x12 inch piece of waxed paper and roll cookie log until the outside surface is covered in pecans. Repeat with second log.

8.Roll up each log in the waxed paper, twisting the ends to secure.

9.Refrigerate logs for 3 or 4 hours, or  overnight.  They should be very firm.

10.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

11.Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

12.Unwrap cookie logs and cut into slices - I made my slices about 5/8 inch thick.

13.Place on cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.  I check the bottom of one cookie to be sure it is also browned before removing from the oven.

14.Store tightly covered in a cool place or freeze until needed.
