COOKIES

Position racks in middle and top thirds of oven; preheat to 350'F.

Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter, ½ C sugar and brown sugar in large bowl until smooth. Mix in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture, oats and chopped toffee candy and mix until well blended.

Rolling about 1½ T dough between pahns for each cookie, form half of dough into 12 rounds. Place 6 rounds on each prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Flatten each round to 2 ¾-inch diameter.

Bake until cookies are golden, about 14 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool completely.

Repeat forming and baking rounds with remaining dough. (Can be stored in airtight container up to 4 days or frozen up to 3 months.) Spread scant ⅓ C frozen yogurt evenly over bottom of 1 cookie. Top with another cookie, bottom side down, forming sandwich. Wrap cookie sandwich in plastic; freeze until firm. Repeat with remaining cookies and frozen yogurt. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Keep frozen.) Let sandwiches stand at room temperature 5 minutes before serving.
