Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened slightly
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup toffee bits

Steps

  • 1
    Whisk flour, salt and baking powder together. Set aside.
  • 2
    Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg and stir to combine. Stir in vanilla. Stir in flour mixture just until combined.
  • 3
    Crush toffee bits to fine crumbs, either using a food processor or by placing in a bag and smashing with a rolling pin. Stir toffee bits into cookie dough.
  • 4
    Scoop out 18 pieces of cookie dough; flatten into irregular shaped cookies that resemble rocks. Set cookies on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
  • 5
    Either set a piece of plastic wrap over a cookie and imprint using plastic bugs, shells, or leaves, or dust a fossil impression mat lightly with flour and rub it over the cookies.
  • 6
    Freeze cookies for 15-30 minutes.
  • 7
    Heat oven to 350°F.
  • 8
    Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes, until lightly golden brown around the edges.
  • 9
    Allow to cool completely before serving.
