Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Mix butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together. Stir in the toffee bits. If dough is too soft, chill it until you can work it easily with your hands.
Scoop 1 tablespoon balls of dough and place on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake cookies for 7-10 minutes until bottoms are just slightly brown. Remove from oven and cool about 10 minutes. Fill a small bowl with powdered sugar and roll each cookie in the sugar until coated. Place on a rack to cool.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freeze cookies for up to 3 months. Once thawed they may need to be re-rolled in powdered sugar.

The dough is very crumbly. It’s easiest to make this recipe using a stand mixer. If you’re using a hand mixer it will take awhile to get it to a cookie dough – just keep mixing!
