Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Spread your pecans on another baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 7-8 minutes or until fragrant. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

Beat butter and dark brown sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the toasted pecans and toffee bits.

Step 5

Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, drop cookie dough onto prepared sheets, 2 inches apart. Tope each cookie dough ball with a pecan halve, if desired. Bake 11-13 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks. While the cookies are fresh from the oven, sprinkle with some sea salt, if desired.
