Toffee Almond Sandies (Christmas Cookie Countdown)

I'm a little behind on my Christmas cookie countdown because I tried the Betty Crocker version the first 2 days, but was sadly disappointed that it was mostly pre-packaged cookie mix recipes. Now I'm back on the Taste Of Home Cookie Countdown in which I get 1 cookie/day from Black Friday until December 25th. Every year I challenge myself to make each and every one of them for the past 8 years but have only been successful once. This is a very busy year so I'm picking the ones that don't require many steps. This recipe was a great choice for cookie #1. I didn't have chocolate covered heath crumbles, just toffee bits, so I added mini chocolate chips. These were hard to share. :)
