Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Cookies

Cookies are extremely easy to make. Once you are able to make a basic cookie dough , which constitutes plain flour , butter and sugar, the rest is a fun workshop where you can add and subtract ingredients as per your wish and availability. Today i wanted to make chocolate chip cookies. But I did not have enough chocolate chips , hence I added ground almonds and also added some cinnamon powder. The end product was absolutely tasty. The cookies came out really melt-in-your-mouth types .

Ingredients :

225 gms butter unsalted
140 gms caster sugar
275 gms plain flour
25 gms powdered almonds
25 gms Chocolate chip
1 tsp cinnamon powder

Optional items:
nuts, ground spices, dried fruits, grated lemon / orange zest, essence.

Method :

Preheat the oven to 170 degree Celsius   Cream the butter till soft and fluffy. Add sugar and beat till pale. Sift in the flour, spices, and all other optional items to form a form dough. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls and place them on a parchment/ butter paper slightly apart. Flatten them slightly with a damp fork. Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool.
