Cinnamon-Almond cookies

 My sudden craze for baking allows me to experiment with various combinations these days. Every time I bite into a cookie, I remember my friends telling me to stop it as it extremely high on calorie. I quietly wondered, 'How bad could it be'. This was the case until I baked them myself. In the process of learning to bake, I am quickly learning to make low fat cookies. Though the one here is not low-fat. This is basic cookie recipe and you can play around with flavouring according to your taste buds. Enjoy........
