Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 id=\"step-2-mix-dry-ingredients\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Mix_Dry_Ingredients\"><\/span>Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

The mixture will be thick and chunky, just as cookie dough should be!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 id=\"step-7-portion-and-bake\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_Portion_and_Bake\"><\/span>Step 7: Portion and Bake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p>Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Remember, cookies continue to bake on the cookie sheet even after removed from the oven.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 id=\"step-8-cool-and-enjoy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_8_Cool_and_Enjoy\"><\/span>Step 8: Cool and Enjoy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Grab a cookie as soon as they\u2019ve cooled enough to handle, and enjoy the homemade Almond Joy experience!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 id=\"conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There you have it: a quick, easy, and absolutely delicious recipe for Small Batch Almond Joy Cookies.
