Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons dark Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free)
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup toffee bits (brickle bits)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons dark Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free)
2–3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream together softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Add the egg and both vanilla extracts, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in toffee bits and optional pecans.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheets with space in between.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned; cool on wire racks before frosting.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, softened butter, dark Vanilla Extract, and enough milk to achieve a smooth but thick consistency ideal for spreading or piping.
Once cooled completely, frost each cookie using a spatula or piping bag for decoration.
