Tips:
When it comes to making these delicious almond joy cookies, there are a few pro tips that will help ensure they turn out perfectly every time. First, be sure to use fresh, soft butter for the best results. Room temperature butter will work fine, but if your butter is too cold it may make the cookies tough. Secondly, use a light hand when measuring the flour – too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Last but not least, don’t overbake the cookies! They should be just set in the center when you take them out of the oven – if they’re browned all over they’ll be overcooked.
