Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl, and beat for another 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the toffee bits with a spatula, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the Cheesecake Toffee Drops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week for maximum freshness.
