Add vanilla.
Add flour and almonds
Stir in baking chips and toffee bits.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the heath bits have chocolate on them? The toffee bits I used are just toffee no chocolate. I'm sure the cookies would be good though, you'd just have to call the "Chocolate Toffee Almond Shortbread", LOL!

I'm not sure if they're just a Canadian product, I know we also have a candy bar here that comes in a red tartan cardboard box called "MacKintosh", it's just toffee thats hard but starts to melt in your mouth and gets chewy, if you guys have something like that you could break it into "bits".

I might have got the Heath bits confused with the Skor bits, I had been on the Hershey Chipits web site looking for a recipe for these "bits" but nothing, other than the "Toffee Blondies", sounded good enough to make, so neccessity being the mother of invention the "Toffee Almond Shortbread" was born.
