Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix flour, soda and salt using a wire whisk and set aside.
In another bowl, cream butter, dark brown sugar and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
Add flour mixture to creamed mixture and mix until combined.
Stir in toffee bits, reserving some to dip tops of cookies.
Roll cookie dough into 1-1/4 inch balls. Chill for a few minutes to make it easier to roll or use a small cookie scoop.
Dip tops of cookies in bits and place on parchment paper covered baking sheet.
Bake about 10 minutes.
Place cookies on cookie rack to cool.
Makes about 30 2-inch cookies.
Note: I only had almost a cup left of bits to use for these cookies,  but I would use the whole bag and possibly even two for these cookies.
Enjoy every little bit!

Tequila Christmas Cake
1 cup of water 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup of sugar 1 tsp salt 1 cup of brown sugar Lemon juice 4 large eggs Nuts 1 bottle tequila 2 cups of dried fruit
Sample the tequila to check quality. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat.
Add one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the tequila is still OK. Try another cup… just in case.
Turn off the ..mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the tequila to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something.
Check the tequila. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. No wait..shtrain the lemon juice and shift your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don’t forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window.
Finish the tequila and wipe counter with the cat.
