My first cookies making-almond chocolate chip cookies

searching for the cookies recipe.. but not understanding wat is baking soda and wat is shortening. so the chance of making the cokies have been delayed for a long long while. went to the supermarket and planned to buy some stuff and come across the "cookies press" its kind of cute though and not too expensive.. so trying my luck, i bought the press thingy and in it, there have a simple cookies recipe. so without thinking too much, i bought the ingredient and bake it at home. and waa lahh.. almond and chocolate chip cookies. and this recipe dun required baking soda and shortening, which is good for me, as i dun have to scratch my head how to work on it. and i make some changes on the recipe, well for trial... here come the recipe
servings : hmm.... unpredictable... depends on the size u make

almond biscuits
200g butter or margarine (room temperature)
100g sugar (castor)
2 eggs
200g flour (plain or all purpose flour)
200g finely blended almond (powdered)

toppings: (depends on your liking... more almond nuts or more chocolate chips)- mixed together in a bowl
some grounded or chopped almond nuts
chocolate chip

methods:
1. cream the butter and sugar together.
2. add eggs and flavouring.
3. sieve in flour and mix the remaining ingredients a little at a time until a soft dough achieved.
4. put the dough in a sandwich bag and cut a small hole at the tip and press the dough out and form the biscuit on a chilled baking tray and add toppings, also lightly press the topping to the soft dough.
5. bake in a pre-heated oven at 200 deg. cel. for approx. 10 to 15 minutes.


the cookies looks nice, my hubby and my father in law says its nice. so happy baking...
