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

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

methods:
1. cream the butter and sugar together.
2. add eggs and flavouring.
