Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
Combine butter, pumpkin puree, egg yolk and vanilla in a medium size bowl; mix until smooth and well blended. Add brown and granulated sugars; stir until smooth and creamy.
Sprinkle flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt over the top of the pumpkin mixture; mix until well combined; add toffee bits; stir.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared sheet pans, spacing 1 1/2 - 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes; sprinkle 1/2 - 1 t. toffee bits over the top of each cookie. Bale for another 3-5 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
If not using toffee bits for garnish, bake cookies for 14-16 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Allow cookies to cool (they will firm up) for several minutes before transferring from the pan to a cooling rack. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Makes 24 cookies.
*Toffee bits are optional and the cookies can be made without them. Substitute pecans or walnuts for the toffee bits, if desired.
