Heath Candy Bar Cookies in 25 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter with light brown sugar and granulated white sugar until pale and fluffy (approximately 2-3 minutes).
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until flour streaks disappear.
6. Using a spatula, gently fold in the chopped Heath bars by hand until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown but centers remain slightly soft.
9. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes to set before transferring to a wire rack.
