Masala Chilli Cookies – Post 3

Who doesn’t like cookies but while I am doing the course (specially in the cookies week) I had such an overdose of sweet things that I couldn’t stand the sight of sugar and all I wanted to do was eat loads and loads of spicy stuff… That is when I chanced upon these cookies somewhere and I sure had to make them…. and man how yummy they were 😀 😀
