Toffee Bite Cookies

At my house growing up we made a lot of chocolate chip cookies.  My favorite way to eat them was always when the came out of the oven and were warm and gooey.  I made some the other day for a craft day but I decided to throw in some chocolate covered toffee pieces and they were so good.
You start out with 3/4 cup of white sugar and 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of shortening.  You cream this together

and add two eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla.

Then it is time for the dry ingredients. You take 1 tsp. of baking soda and 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 cups of flour and add that to the mixture.  The I put in a whole bag of Heath bites.

 I preheated the oven to 350 and baked each tray for 10 minutes.
