This is a very old recipe that's been in the family for generations. Sometimes I'll omit the toffee bits and add miniature chocolate chips or coconut instead.

I have made these many times and everybody loves them. I use a little less flower to make the dough less crumbly. I also make them much smaller and shape the dough into about 10 10-inch logs. Definitely a keeper and part of our Christmas cookie-must-haves!
