Sift together flour and baking soda. Put aside. Cream butter & sugar together. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture. Stir in candy pieces. Chill dough for about 1/2 hour. (I don't know why) Drop by teaspoons full onto greased cookie sheet (or sheet lined with parchment paper.) (I smashed mine down a little-like I do with chocolate-chip cookies.)
