Oatmeal Toffee Cookies

3 2/5 ounces all-purpose flour (about 3/4 cup)
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt 

3/4 cup packed brown sugar 

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

1 large egg 

1/3 cup almond toffee bits

Cooking spray 

Preheat oven to 350°. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk. Place sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 5 minutes). Add vanilla and egg; beat well. Add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Stir in toffee bits. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on 2 baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on pans 1 minute. Remove cookies from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
