Triple Chunk Cookies

1 c butter softened
3/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 bag Heath bar pieces
1 bag chocolate chips
1/2 bag white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375.  Soften butter in a mixing bowl.  Add brown sugar, sugar, egg and vanilla and mix.  Add flour, baking soda and salt.  Mix 2 more minutes.  Add in remaining ingredients.  Don't worry that it seems like not enough dough to hold it all together-- it works out!  Scoop with a big scoop and flatten balls.  Cook for 10-11 minutes, remove from oven even though they look gooey, but allow to bake on cookie sheet for 2 more minutes before removing to cool.  Makes 24 cookies.
